I expect that you may find that this problem has fixed itself (since expire
ran).

Newer versions of C news rfc822ize message ids before storing them.  
Since dbz doesn't actually store the message id, you need to rebuild 
the hash table when upgrading from older versions.  

Check that CNEWS is defined in dbz and that you are linking with this 
version.  Then do a mkdbm or an expire to rebuild the hash table.  

I run the latest version of C News + dbz 1.9 here w/o any such problems.

It's 1989.  Does your software support the ISO 8859 character sets?
