Geoff has figured out why C News's relaynews sometimes returns status 16
without producing any error message; it's a problem in stdio buffering.
Fix is coming.  At least some of the instances in which it is happening
seem to be provoked by badly-malformed control messages (some people do
not understand that posting an article to whatever.ctl makes it a control
message and it must meet strict rules to be legal).
