Hmmmm... After reading this I went and checked my news directory and I
found the same thing.  This explains the mysterious random failure of
inews I asked about in news.software.b last week.  The articles which
failed to get sent by inews seem to correspond to the ones that are
lying around in the news directory.  Looks like I'll have to try
this patch...   (patch, patch, tinker, tinker....)
