There is a bug in innd with a certain kind of headers - if an
article contains "Distribution: ," innd will fall over and die.
Ofcourse it didn't accept the article yet, so after a restart it
will most likely receive the same article again, and keep on dying

Should be fixed in 2.2.2, but the 1.7.2 from slink probably still
has the bug.
