Description:
	When new articles arrive, rn prints a message telling the user how
	many new articles have arrived.  ("nn new articles have arrived!")
	The count is incorrect.

Repeat by:
	Wait till this event occurs and the number of new articles reported
	will be the sum of the old number of articles + the new ones that
	have arrived instead of the difference between the new count and
	the last know high numbered article.

Fix:
	The wrong variable name was used in the calculation, diffs follow.
	Your rcsid and line numbers may vary.
