Why do only some of my comp.mail.map updates get put into a batch file?
I have a line in my sys file like this:

    maps:world,comp.mail.maps:F:/usr/spool/news/maps/comp.mail.maps/Batch

But only some of the map updates make it into the file.  For example, here
are two entries that came in contiguously.  One made it in and one didn't.
I'm running news 2.11, patchlevel 14. 

From /usr/lib/news/log:

Here are the headers of the two articles.  One was sent to maps, and one
wasn't.  Why?
