I noticed an unexpected/unexplained behavior by inews/rnews when dealing
with my comp.mail.maps newsgroups.  Last night, several new map articles
came into this system, but only one of them was forwarded to other sites.
The only thing I have been able to detect that is different between the
articles is that the one article which was forwarded did not have a
"Supersedes:" header, while all of the other articles did.

I recently rebuilt my history files due to re-compiling the news software
to use the DBM flag and associated database routines.

Are these two events related, and if so, how?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
