One little gotcha that slowed me down quite a bit - rnews forks to a copy
of itself, at least when unbatching.  Turns out the copy of rnews that
was doing most of the work was not the one I had just compiled, and the
two versions didn't speak the same language.

I have 2.11 and rn working fairly well now, except for three problems:
	1.  cross posted articles appear N times, once per newsgroup
	2.  next article access becomes quadratic when there are many
articles in the newsgroup.
	3.  mail reply and followup to moderated groups rarely works.
