Each night, I have a script that effectively does an
	egrep -v 'sent|received'
on the LIB/log file.  And each day I notice that a large
(usually around 60) number of articles have the following
error message preceding them:
	<date>:   <site> linecount expected n1, got n2
where n1 is usually 1 less than n2, but not always.  And
the messages are coming from a wide variety of sites, many
of them that I presume have the latest-and-greatest software
(I won't embarrass anyone by listing them).  Sure enough, when
I go to look at the batch files, they do have incorrect counts
in the "lines:" header.

My question:  Has anyone else noticed this, and better yet, found
out why it's happening?

I know this isn't too important, since the article gets posted okay
anyway; just call me picky.  FYI: I'm running B 2.11 Patch #10.
