Well, despite a month of testing, there are still some problems with the
1.5.10 release of NNTP. The following are the only two significant problems
reported.

1. Defining SETPROCTITLE when running CNEWS is still problematical.
The workaround is to NOT define SETPROCTITLE. This will be fixed in 1.6.
I had a number of CNEWS test sites. One of those sites reported the problem
about a week AFTER the release. Sigh.

2. GNEWS and the new select() based timeout mechanism in 1.5.10 are not
compatible. The workaround is to not run 1.5.10. This will also be fixed in
1.6. This one got by because all my beta testers don't use GNEWS. I will 
be sure that 1.6 has a beta site that does use GNEWS.

Watch this space for more developments.
