Ah, now I see:
joeyh (=Joey Hess?) patched News/weekly/1999/32/index.wml 1.4 ==> 1.5 (1999/09/08 17:18:33)
and changed debian-security-announce-9908/msg00000.html to
debian-security-announce-99/msg00000.html. That's wrong since he droped
the month without adapting the message ID (where ID 0 refers to the
first issue of the year, not the month).
OK, this explains the behaviour. The next time when I notice similar
stuff I will not be so lazy and check the CVS history more carefully!
I will also check similar commits from him to ensure that this didn't
happen multiple times.
Jens
