There is a bug in inews.c which affects USG sites which run protection
modes more restrictive than 0777.  The bug is present in at least 2.10.1
and 2.10.2 news.  In mknewsg() the line:

	if (stat(parent, &sbuf) < 0) {

should be:

	if (stat(parent, &sbuf) == 0) {

Now I get to find out why 2.10.2 expire will only archive selected
newsgroups if the FIRST newsgroup in the line is one being archived!
