Well, I deleted the .overview file and I was able to enter the group and
read the posts in it. Memory usage went up only marginally. Simple
enough to make a cron script or equivalent that deletes .overview files
that get too large, I guess.
I did first try setting nntp-nov-is-evil to t but this seemed to make
little difference.
Thanks for your help.
