The problem is with the length of the References: line.  When the line 
wraps the screen more than about 2.5 times (!), you get this error 
message.  The quick and dirty solution, assuming you have access to the
news spool directory, is to edit the article file and delete some of
the reference line.  The correct solution, of course, is to fix the
RN problem where he allocates the buffer.
