Mark Dapoz (mdapoz@hybrid.UUCP) posted this - and we got it just after Alex
Chan had gotten the same tip from someone he knows over at Tektronix who
evidently had this adventure also:

>I found that I had to define both DOXREFS *and* NORELAY to get rn to handle
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bingo!!!

>the Xref: line properly.  Defining just DOXREFS wasn't good enough 'cause rn
>tried to determine the local host using the Relay-Version: line which didn't

Right on target, Mark. Alex Chan made the fix this evening, and 'rn' is just
*cookin'*! We want to use it for a day or so before we declare *final*
victory over this dragon, but - it's fixed. Alex has seperately posted a
brief note confirming what he did.

Thanks to Mark, Lenny, Chris and all others who helped us solve this one!
