Not AFAIK, you need to edit the .next files every now and then, or simply
erase your newstree completely. I have been using 1.17b4 for a year now,
BTW, this version has quite some bugfixes, especially in sendmail. I don't
know if the 32k boundary has been fixed for news, but my UULIB:seq file
shows ~59000, so maybe it was.
