[issue17084] nntplib.NNTP.xover does not always return results as documented

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl added the comment:

The NNTP server seems to be violating the protocol; it is supposed to convert tab characters in the fields to spaces.  It appears that in your example the list of references was separated by a tab character, which Python then (correctly) interprets as separator.
