Is the corresponding code in NNTP_FEED changed as well. It may solve some
cryptict problems we have had with feeds to some machines.

This raises the question. Is it wise to have the same subroutines duplicated
in different files? When fixing one file you forget to fix the other.
We may end up with smaller code if you link NNTP_FEED and the other programs
against a common library.
