It means that the Gnus agent has saved nov/header data in its .overview
file that it was subsequently unable to make sense of. Each header line
is supposed to start with an integer indicating the article number being
read. In your case, the line seems to start with "an"? Or maybe it looks
like "an" is part of a date format that Gnus is expecting?
Anyhow, it would be useful to see the (full) offending line from the
.overview file in the corresponding agent directory.
Eric
