I currently have rn patchlevel 39.  The problem is that the lines in
.newsrc keep growing and growing.  Vi complains about lines being too
long if I try to edit .newsrc.  Arbitron is beginning to skip a large
number of newsgroups because sort rejects various newsgroups complaining
that the line is too long.  The lines are about 1024 characters long.

Is there a patch to rn that addresses this problem?
