I'm afraid the problem with INN is worse than the history and overview
databases.  The on-disk CNFS header contains time_t, so if you're using
CNFS as your spool storage, the whole article spool becomes unreadable.
It's essentially exactly the same problem that we had with LFS, and I'm
really regretting not switching everything on-disk to uint64_t or the like
a long time ago.  (But there was never a point after we introduced CNFS
when that was going to be easy.)
