NNTP 1.5.9, in spawn.c, tries to open a temporary file in
/usr/spool/news/.tmp. Bad move.

I don't run B news. (Never had it, never will.) I don't have a
/usr/spool/news/.tmp. Assuming the universal availability of it as a
temporary area is a bad idea. As is assuming the use of
/usr/spool/news as the news spool area.
