Yesterday I applied the two patches to Cnews to bring it up to the 7-Sep-90
version and installed it.  THe first time relaynews fired up to process
the incoming batches, all batches were placed in "bad" and the following error
message showed up in errlog "relaynews: whitespace in system name (or 
exclusions) for sys file entry ` '".  To correct the problem and get the batches
processed I had to remove the blank lines in the sys file.

I thought blank lines were ignored in the sys file.  The prototype sys file
has them.  Has anyone else seen this behavior?
