(I have sent a much more detailed version of this message directly to
c-news@utstat.toronto.edu)

New C news administrators should be warned that the first run of
expire will change the size of history.pag in a radical manner.  (Also
true any time the history.pag is recreated.) I spent a fair amount of
time tracking down a non-bug.

I've modified batcher not to include Xref: headers.  Actually quite
simple.  If there is demand, I'll post an unoffical patch here, but
would prefer that it just gets incorperated into the next offical
patch.
