I am having a problem with B news locking up on garbled messages
in a batch.  Seems someone at novell.com is sending out a news
messages with the sender field like this:

  Sender:  (\n rest of stuff)

Well my inews says yuck and says its garbled.  Thats ok, but after two
or three of these messages, my inews/rnews locks up and must be killed
by hand.  I have to remove the offending batch and restart.  

Has anyone seen this or have a fix for it?  Something with unlocking after
an abort?  I am running 2.11.19 on a Sun 3/160.  
I can upgrade to C news in the future, but not yet.

Thanx
