Found my own errors:	
I hacked too much in timer.c to get it working on AIX 3.
Undefining TIMEOUT resolves those problems.
Now that I'm finally able to read news, I find that I can't post.
nntp tells me that I send it garbage on any simple request, something like 
the following:

(0)barolo:/usr/local/nntp 175$ tn bct930 nntp
Trying...
Connected to bct930.
Escape character is '^T'.
200 bct930 NNTP server version 1.5.11 (10 February 1991) ready

**(!*#!&^#@^%^&*&^*&@$ unexpected
quit
205 bct930 closing connection.  Goodbye.
Connection closed.
(0)barolo:/usr/local/nntp 176$ 

the garbage is 8-bit data.....

I do not have any mods in the source apart from keeping HZ as defined by the 
system instead of 60.
So what's wrong?
