news.el in news-mode sets the variable mode-name to be a list, but apparently
the following code in buffer.c causes complaints when a non-string is provided.

  DEFVAR_PER_BUFFER ("mode-name", &current_buffer->mode_name,
                     make_number (Lisp_String),
    "Pretty name of current buffer's major mode (a string).");

Is rnews just plain broken, or buffer.c?
