You should upgrade to 2.11.19, first and foremost.

   When the number of news groups gets past 512, it breaks.
   Actually, news keeps working, but the readers "readnews"
   and "vnews" that come with it will not start, they break.

Make a change like this to defs.h:

108c108
< #define LINES 512     /* maximum no. of lines in .newsrc */
---
> #define LINES 1024    /* maximum no. of lines in .newsrc */
