Another Vnews Bug

This problem has been around for a long time.  Apparently, the
SIGHUP is not always acted on.  On our 3B20's, this will cause
vnews to accumulate incredible amounts of CPU time as the sys
read calls are satisfied.  Because of this and other programs
that like to do that, I finally wrote a program that will kill
programs with excessive (determined on the command line) CPU
times.
