]Does your news.h have SMALLMEM defined?  (It should have if you answered
]"small" to the address-space question in build.)  The 23-June patch added

We've got SMALLMEM defined, and compiled with small model under Venix 286,
which is the same C compiler as V/AT, and we haven't noted any problems
with expire.
