Running rn compiled for NNTP (rrn) using patchlevel 44.  Sun 3, running 
SunOS 4.0.

Bug #1:
	With each invocation an rrnact.* file is created in /tmp.  This
	file is _never_ deleted.  Noticed this one day when I saw about
	400K of such files up to a month old sitting in /tmp.

Bug#2:
	In the newsgroups script, the "Unsubscribed but listed in .newsrc"
	doesn't list anything at all.  After a bit of experimentation, I
	figured out that the sed(1) command which is supposed to delete all
	of the lines in .newsrc which don't end with a ! in fact deletes
	every single line in .newsrc.

A recommendation:

	How about having the 'v' show patchlevel as well as rn.c version.  This
seems to be pretty relevant!


Does anyone have any fixes for the above?  Is a new official patch due soon?
