A neighbouring site is struggling to install news 2.11 on their
Eunice system.  All programs have compiled.  The problem arises
when a batch of news is received.  The batch is placed in the
directory /usr/spool/news/.rnews, and is not unbatched.  SPOOLNEWS
is not defined, so it should unbatch immediately.  When rnews -U is
run (rnews -U -S was tried also), it seems to hang, and never exits.

The patchlevel of the news is 0, I believe (none of the 5 patches
have yet been applied), but I do not see in any of the patches a
fix for the above problem.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, or can give us any clue
as to what to look for?  Any help would be much appreciated.  This
site has never had news running before, so it's all new to them.

regards,
