Summary: 2.11 uses malloc


News 2.11 uses malloc. There is only 1 hard limit in it anymore. (LINES =512
in defs.h) That is the maximum number of lines in the .newsrc. Even
"rn" has this as a hard limit.

Any sites running 2.11 had no problems with all of those newgroups.
(Actually the 2.10.3 version on teh final 4.3bsd tape has this fixed as well)
