OK, here goes.  Both Helldiver and NSCU are bits of culprits here.
Helldiver does screw up a little on non-numeric filenames.  NSCU on
the other hand does strange things with moving articles, etc, so
what I suspect (I need to confirm this myself) is that NSCU is updating
the timestamp on some of the article files and Helldiver goes "hey,
this article is newer than the timestamp on the NEWSRC file and it
has a small number - that must mean that the group has expired and
started filling up again - so I'll just rewind to the start of the
group".  *sigh*  I put this code into Helldiver to compensate for
Waffle's lack of an ACTIVE file, and it appears to be back-firing
when people are running NSCU.

I plan to make the next version NSCU-aware.

Cheers,

Rhys.
