How about a "write" directive to put .newsrc in order?  It's
discouraging to read an exponential amount of articles to
have it all blown off by a dropped line or other malady.  And
for some reason, our vnews doesn't hear SIGHUP either; it's
either vnews or the way the 3B20S posts signals.  It just
sits there snarfing up gobs of cpu time, most probably doing
syscall reads a byte-at-a-time.  Sigh.
