The unbatcher just counts characters when it unbatches.  It doesn't
care whether the "#! rnews" starts at the beginning of the line.
(I verified this by looking at the code and with an experiment,
tacking some un-newlined-text onto a couple of articles before
they got batched.  They still arrived at the destination intact.)

--> So there is no black hole.  Go back to sleep. <--

Having the batcher produce stuff like this is aesthetically unpleasing,
but it's not hurting anything.
