gmane seems entirely broken with the new code.  I can post, but fetching 
overviews for subscribed groups simply results in a 500 What? error 
logged by pan from gmane when it tries the xzver command, and no new 
articles.

I've no idea if that means gmane doesn't support xzver at all and pan is 
trying to use it anyway, or if it does and pan's simply screwing things 
up so gmane hasn't a clue what pan's trying to get it to do.

I reverted back to 6a8de8 (just before the xzver stuff hit), and pan 
pulled down all the overviews I had missed since my last pre-xzver update.
