I think we've seen this before.  It's cnfsstat looking for the oldest 
article in the buffer and not finding it, I believe.  There's 
special-case code in cnfsstat to handle the case of a new, 
partially-filled cycbuff, and I guess it's possible it has some sort of 
bug.

Regardless, I expect it will correct itself eventually (once the buffer 
fills up once, if not before), and it certainly doesn't mean that 
there's anything broken about your cycbuffs themselves.
