We recently installed 2.10.3 news (version B 2.10.3 4.3bsd 1/17/86) and it
has subsequently broken the Xref feature of rn.  I see where the problem lies.
The function ihwrite() no longer puts out a 'Relay-Version:' which rn depended
on for sanity checking of hostnames and the Xref line.

Four possible solutions:
	1. have ihwrite() generate the Relay-Version: line as it used to.  (This
	   is what I did).
	2. have rn quit sanity checks.
	3. have rn check Path: rather than Relay-Version: for comparison
	   purposes.
	4. have rn use gethostname() or /usr/include/whoami for comparison
	   purposes.

If there is an official fix for this, I apologise for not being aware of it.
If not, is there a well-known fix?  Or is what I did adequate and not going
to break something else?

Thanks for any responses.
