A minor bug to fix in Marvin Soloman's otherwise swell mod to readnews.  In
the function sortactive, there are two identifiers that might well collide
(depending on your compiler.)   In particular, they are 'newactivename' and
'newactive'.  On my system, the second was seen as a redeclaration of the first.

The fix is to simply shorten one of the two names.  I changed newactivename to
newactname and the problem went away.  This is probably obvious to all, but
perhaps someone out there is recently moved to a "smaller" UNIX and might be
in the dark as to why the thing won't compile.
