I'm the LISTSERV postmaster for NDSUVM1.  I'll look into the ROOTS-L
index number shift.  However, no notebooks have been manually edited
lately (at least the I know of).
 
   There are two possible explanations besides a LISTSERV bug that I can
think of:
 
   1.  We had a disk failure on Thursday afternoon (11/04/93 around 16:30 CST
       or 2230 GMT).  I don't think LISTSERV had any minidisks on the disks
       that were affected but one was a page volume and could have caused
       LISTSERV to terminate at a bad time.
 
   2.  I did move the ROOTS-L minidisk to a different location (it was on
       the same volume as a very active minidisk so searches were probably
       being affected.  But this was done on 11/02 and I had listserv offline
       at the time.
 
   The log files back to ROOTS-L LOG8712 seem to be there and in the index.
I'll let the list know what I find if anything...  Marty
