*Sigh*. I'm sorry, but I did it again. I just haven't had the time to put
into this to be careful about it. Anyway, my fix does work, but the patch I
posted was the version before the correct version. It won't work at all.
(Obviously, not too many people have applied the patch yet, because the
person that called my attention to it eyeballed it, and doesn't run
dxrn/mxrn himself.)

Anyway, here is a very short patch to fix dxrn/mxrn once and for all. Apply
this one AFTER my previous patch. I'm not going to post the whole big mess
to 4 newsgroups again. The first patch is useless without this one, apply
both in sequence to get a working version of dxrn/mxrn that will
interoperate with C news.
