Is this a problem with common-lisp.net or with gmane?

Personally, I find it a design flaw of the archiver that it indexes
depending on message number rather than on message id. The latter one
exist for a reason while the former might be incidental (watching the
mailman arch tool grind on mailboxes gives the impression that it
builds hash tables and then traverses them when writing output, so
there may be a nondeterministic element in this.)

        Mario.
