Hello,

I tried this morning to get nnslashdot working, with some success. i'm using
5.8.8, and I think the problem lies in the date reference of the articles:

sometimes the year is wrong (00 instead of 01) it seems.

But I ended up with groups with the correct reference:
   505: nnslashdot:Is Mac OS X Threatening Linux? (01/01/16/230234)
witch give an Ok group when fetched.

The first time I tried, I had this line:
   505: nnslashdot:Is Mac OS X Threatening Linux? (00/01/16/230234)
                                                   ^^^^
which leads to the infamous  "from the dept" semi-empty message 
(I tried with wget), not an 404 error
message (which would be way clearer).

I don't know where the error womes from though.

ps: Norman, sorry if you received a malformed email from me on this topic, 
I guess I hit the wrong button.
