I have a 0.68-megabyte collection of news that, when batched with 2.10.2
batchnews, will tickle the article-eater bug every time. I have not yet
succeeded in finding a subset of it that also tickles the bug. Various
people such as kre have demanded name-date-place-serialnumber type of proof,
so I've kept quiet about it until I get the time to reduce it to something
tractable. I can induce the failure entirely on Glacier, without involving
decwrl, though the news did all come from decwrl. I have resisted the
temptation to send the entire 680Kbytes to Australia and asking kre to find
it......

Hey, 2.10.3 is not officially released yet. How can you possibly get on
somebody's case to upgrade to software that is not out of beta test?
You could probably get them to switch to 2.10.2 batchnews for your feed.
