NNTP interface broken?

Did something change in the NNTP interface lately?

I am seeing the same behavior as described in this article:

http://news.lugnet.com/admin/nntp/?n=1259

I had assumed that my Outlook Express installation had gotten confused
(although it has never happened previously) and marked it up as something to
look into later.  I was chatting offline with another LUGNET reader who is
seeing the same behavior as I am.

Something has changed.  A group like lugnet.trains.org.ncltc now shows two
(2) unread articles when in fact, there hasn't been a post in several
months.  The lugnet.trains group now reports 112 unread articles.  I use the
visible unread article show me when there is something to go read.

About half the groups I read now exhibit this behavior.

Mike

(...) No. (...) When did you first observe this behavior? (...) Nothing has changed in the code. Some articles were retro-filtered to decode RFC2047 headers last night, however. (...) Can you tell me the subject lines of those two messages? (...) (...) (21 years ago, 27-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
