This is the second posting - I suspect the first posting got lost.
Sorry if you've seen this already.

Readr() expects command() to return a TRUE or FALSE value indicating
whether readr() is to break out of a for loop or not.  Command() returns
an undefined value if only a carriage return is entered.  On our SUN
running 4.2BSD, this undefined value happens to be 0 (FALSE).

Here is the relevant portion of a diff -c.  Don't expect the line
numbers to be correct - the 2.10 news source was heavily modified before
we got it.

  		if (!bptr[-1] && rfq)
! 			return;
  		readmode = NEXT;
