#3 fetchnews dies fetching php.mirrors
fetchnews dies when trying to fetch news from news.php.net
(running colobus "nntp server" frontend for ezmlm mailing
list) <URL: http://trainedmonkey.com/colobus/ >
fetchnews -vvv output:
---snip---
php.mirrors: will fetch 22872 (/usr/local/var/spool/leafnode/
message.id/501/
<20040108152513.2651B23DED@server.barthazi.hu>)
php.mirrors: receiving article 22122 (748 more up in the air)
Discarding article 22122 - no From: found
Server disconnection or timeout before article could be
retrieved
---snip---
After "Discarding article 22122" fetchnews does nothing for a
while.
I'm running Leafnode 1.9.47 (FreeBSD ports package)
Is it a bug in Leafnode/fetchnews or is it in colobus?

It's colobus' fault:
1. it sends an article with mandatory headers missing,
violating the RFC-977 standard;
2. it sends an article without blank line after headers,
hence without body.
Note that news.php.net is not running the current version of
Colobus which appears to be 1.1 (two years old); however no
mention is made whether it is still maintained, and this bug
isn't mentioned in the changelog between 1.0 and 1.1 either.
Please report the problem to the Colobus maintainer at
http://trainedmonkey.com/colobus/ and to the news.php.net
admins.
The workaround is to set "minlines = 1".
The fix will be in leafnode-1.9.48 which is due soon.

Leafnode 1.9.48.rel has been released, it fixes this bug
(tested with that particular article), so I'm closing this bug.
