You must enroll the server with the agent.  J a in the server buffer.

This should probably happen automatically.

The directory is there, but it's empty.  The only files in my agent-tree
are

     ~/News/agent/nntp/localhost/agent.lib/{active, history}

Ah, it just occurs to me that maybe I've misunderstood how it works.
I'm never unplugged -- are the NOV-lines still supposed to be cached in
that case?

Ok.  Any suggestions about where I should look to debug it?

I think there is bogus data in the overview returned from the
server.  Could you telnet the server and ask it for the overview data
of that article?  Does that look suspicious?
