   I'm running GNU Emacs 18.50.5 on a Sun (release 3.5) under BSD 4.2.  I've been
   having fun finding all the nice things I can do with emacs under unix that I 
   can't do with emacs under vax/vms.  However.... I encountered a problem with
   rnews.  Everything came up just fine, but after finishing first newsgroup `n'
   failed to take me to the next.  Instead I received the following message:
   Symbol's function definition is void: cdadr

   This *looks* like a simple binding problem, but as usual, I don't know where
   to look.  A side effect of this error is a failure to update .newsrc so that
   a subsequent invocation of rnews starts in the same place.

This bug is fixed in 18.52.  find the use(s) of cdadr in rnews.el and
change it news-cdadr.  Alternately, add (load-library "cl") to you
rnews-mode-hook.
