While debugging the previous problem, I noticed the magic
number "8193" in updaterc().  Apparently this is meant to be larger
than any ngsize.  Reasonable, because the bitmap is only 8192 bits long.

But the inews software thinks ngsize can go up to 99999.
I wonder what'll happen on mit-vax in a couple days when 
the size of unix-wizards goes above 8192...

P.S. the loop near the top of updaterc() where next is incremented
should probably be changed so that it stops if next gets larger than ngsize.
