    Note that when a duplicate article is rejected by rnews, it will
    get retransmitted to downstream sites anyway.

I'm not sure I believe that.  Duplicates are rejected around line 327 of
inews.c, just after the call to input().  Broadcast() isn't called until
the very end of insert(), which is called after the duplicates are
rejected.  Experiments seem to confirm this analysis.

Maybe my software is out of date, or yours has been hacked up?
