I'm using GNU Emacs 21.2.1 and running gnus-version "Oort Gnus v0.08".
I am running on Windows 2000. I also have Cygwin installed.

The problem I see is that the ".overview" files in my nnml groups
frequently have the first line filled with NULL characters. Everything
works OK, but the files keep getting larger and larger, with more NULL
characters being prepended.

This also happens with the file ".nnmail-cache".
I also see it happening in the .overview files created by the Gnus
agent for newsgroups. 

Frankly, I'm at a loss here - the same setup works fine on Windows XP
without this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution, or at least a
workaround?
