significant bug in readnews 2.10, fix included

[tom at idis.UUCP]

[bug bait]

	On further consideration, I have noticed another change that must
be enacted before readnews 2.10 can handle articles with a name-number > 8192.
	On line 303 of rfuncs.c, next is set to 8193. Apparently the authors
knew of this limit. If you are going to change bitmap[1024] to bitmap[2048],
you should also change this 8193 to 16386. It should be noted that any fixes
of this type are only effective till the new limit is reached. 
	Does anyone know of any reasonable method of getting inews to start
rapping these name/numbers around before these limits are hit? Are the numeric
subdirectories in net.micro causing a problem? And why can't readnews be more
intelligent when creating a new .newsrc? If the first article if 7001, does it
have to look for 7000 files that aren't there?
	Again, if this is old hat, my apologies. I'm new in the news biz.
	(You out there Mark?)
