Uh, really?  Can you elaborate?  The rn we're running here is a rev 40
that got some further hacking at Waterloo, but we have made no, repeat no,
changes to make it work with C News.  C News's Xrefs header is absolutely
standard as far as I know, and we have not modified rn for it.  This is
the first we've heard of any problem.
