I was reading news tonight on a remote machine when
my home machine crashed, and when I started Readnews
up after a reboot I noticed my .newsrc file wasn't 
updated (a *real* pain if you've just read a bunch of mail).

Does anyone know why Readnews doesn't seem to handle
this situation very gracefully? I'm sure that it traps
most signals, but a SIGHUP (?) doesn't seem to be handled
well.

Any insight is appreciated....
