The problem with SETPROCTITLE is that it does the environmental save too
early. This means that the environment is saved before the code used
when POSTER is defined. Therefore anything spawned will run as the wrong
user.

If you don't define SETPROCTITLE, this doesn't happen. And things work
as I had intended. SETPROCTITLE is NOT necessary for NNTP to work
properly. It was just a neat way to monitor using ps where NNTP connections
were coming from.
