I would propose the following fix which I would like somebody to
try out:

Add this line at the beginning of aux.sh:

	exec 3<&0

This will open fd #3 as the tty, and Cnews' anne.jones script will use this
before 0 1 2 (which are not ttys when inews is called by the aux script).

Please try it out and tell me whether it works. it works.
