There is a bug in newsx that causes problems with articles that contain
ASCII NULs. Perhaps that is the trouble you are seeing? When moving very
large amounts of news, it you will see NULs with a certain probability.
I have been working on a fix for it - it is a bit tricky to get a
solution that is 100% portable. And then the summer holiday came in and
interrupted ;-(
I should have the fix ready real soon now. Which Unix are you running,
BTW?
