inews problem

[D. Brian Kimmel]

I just had a problem with inews.  We had 2 files get very large - about
16 megs each.  The files were errlog and log in /usr/lib/news.  We run
news 2.11 from SCO.

The files were full of a repeated message from inews all for the same
article.  The message was that inews expected a linecount of 52 and
got 54.  This continued from 04:58 till 10:02 with about 450 entries
every minute.  Thats a *whole lotta* entries.  After that operations
seemed to return to normal.

Any ideas of what happened and how to prevent it from happening again?

I am fairly new at news administration and I am trying to learn more
before we start feeding other sites so any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Brian
