If you use the -hf optiopn or whatever, it leaves the ctl files in the
spool directories to speed up processing. Helldiver doesn't expect them
there, and doesn't know how to handle them, and thus the problem. Not
sure who you want to blame for the problem, I shouldn't have left them
there but Helldiver shouldn't try reading non-news articles.

Switch to just -h (or -s if a single feed site...)

I've learned a LOT of C since then, and hope to rewrite NSCU in the near
future implementing linked lists and possibly a more efficient approach.
Any kind of past record files, like the ctl files, will be done quit
differently and not left in the spool dirs. But first, on with uubatch...
