Log Message:
Update to 1.9.43:

==============================================================================
* 1.9.43, 2003-09-04

### INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
- In the traditional spool, newsgroups with all-numeric components show up
  with a - (minus, hyphen) prefixed to the number, the newsgroup example.1234
  will be stored as /var/spool/news/example/-1234.

  It is believed this change does not cause troubles because news systems that
  offered the traditional spool have been incapable of providing news access,
  and because the count of news groups with such names is way below 0.1% on
  the news servers I have access to. The gain in functionality justifies the
  incompatibility.

  NOTE: this only affects newsreaders that directly access the spool.
  NNTP-based newsreaders will see no difference.

### BUGFIXES
- Fix leafnode.8 manual pages (EN and DE languages) to explain 0 and negative
  values for expire/groupexpire.
- Avoid premature abort (that causes .overview and groupinfo files to become
  stale) when the stdout becomes disconnected. Reported by Sytse van Slooten.
- Make sure that texpire fixes the groupinfo lines of groups in "archive mode"
  (groupexpire -1). Reported by Sytse van Slooten.
- Repair groupexpire 0 (= use global default, rather than expire immediately).
  Broken since 1.9.23.
- Make sure that fetchnews complains when a timeout happens while reading
  newsgroups lists ("active file") or newsgroup descriptions. Found after a
  related report from Tim Daneliuk.
- Use different fix for newsgroup names with all-numeric components that does
  not require two stat() calls in XOVER handling. Tracked down and reported by
  Rein Klazes.
- Remove bogus error messages "article * is below/above the *-water mark" that
  occur when reading a group that fetchnews is fetching into. Reported by Rein
  Klazes.
- Make sure XOVER related error messages don't show up in the NNTP client.

### CHANGES
- fetchnews puts stdout into line buffered, or -- failing that -- unbuffered
  mode (Patch by Mark Brown, Debian maintainer).
- leafnode processes warn (syslog and stderr) when a groupexpire is set to 0
  (which means "use the default", which some users may not be aware of).

### DOCUMENTATION
- Added FAQ item on running leafnode as nntps server.
- Mention SuSEconfig difficulties with /etc/hosts in README-FQDN*
- Clarify item #13 in INSTALL.

==============================================================================
* 1.9.42, 2003-06-27

### SECURITY RELEVANT BUGFIXES
- Fix hang when trying to download an article that lacked mandatory headers.
  (Very old bug, recently found by Joshua Crawford)
NOTE: this assertion that the bug is security relevant (denial of service)
has been made after 1.9.42 release.

### BUGFIXES
- Check lastreply() against NULL, in an effort to fix obscure sporadic and
  non-reproducable crashes on OpenBSD sparc64. (Reported by Bruno Rohee)
- Fix bogus "Cannot open .../interesting.group/group.name for reading" when a
  group subscription has expired. (Reported by Andreas Muck)

### CHANGES
- The ChangeLog file has been split, older parts (leafnode 1.9.31.rel and
  before) have moved to the "new" ChangeLog.old file.

==============================================================================
* 1.9.41, 2003-05-22

### BUGFIXES
- Fix the "leafnode keeps fetching a group I've unsubscribed from long ago"
  bug that haunted leafnode since 1.9.18 at the latest and that was more
  prominent with the delaybody migration fixes of 1.9.33. Reported by Andreas
  Muck and Gerry Doris.
- "make clean" no longer erases t.pcre_extract

### CHANGES
- Add an EXPERIMENTAL feature, delaybody_in_situ. This may work around
  problems with particular newsreaders in delaybody mode. Do not rely on this
  feature for now, and do send feedback if you use it, regardless of whether
  it works or not. Defaults to off (compatible with previous versions). If you
  don't know what it is about, leave it off.
- Some messages in fetchnews have been reworded to make them clearer and more
  helpful.

### PORTABIILTY
- Find tcpd on OpenBSD at build time. Patch by Bruno Rohee.

==============================================================================
* 1.9.40, 2003-05-08

### BUGFIX
- Leafnode no longer aborts when using the replacement snprintf function
  (FreeBSD) and is about to display a pseudo article.
