I came in today to find that rnews had hung.  I rebooted the system and tried
again -- it hung again when it got to the same article in the batch.  I edited
the batch to remove the article manually and things worked once more.  The only
thing strange about the article was that it was attempting to create a group
that already exists, and with the same characteristics as the existing group
(i.e. the newgroup control message should have been a no-op).

We run 2.11, with patches up to #7 applied, on 4.2 BSD on a VAX 11/750.
