	Aside from the inode bug, there's also the fact that news just
	*needs* a lot of inodes.  (I'm using double the default number.)

If you had an Apollo with the Domain/OS file system, you wouldn't have
this problem.  If it runs out of inodes, it just allocates more out
of the free list.  This shouldn't be too hard to hack into your kernel,
too.
