Readnews Bug

[rees at apollo.UUCP]

Here is the fix for readnews crashing after 8192 articles.

Add this line to defs.h.  Make this number as big as you want, keeping it
a multiple of 8.  I don't think it has to be a power of 2, but that's
what it was before.

#define BITMAPSIZE 32768 /* Size of bitmap for readnews; was hardcoded 8192 */

Now, make these changes in rextern.c and rfuncs.c:
