Whose buggy notes-news interface generates system names that are too
long, and have control characters in them?  For example, in net.unix-wizards
recently there was an article "Re: 4.2 lost mail" sent by (individual
characters quoted so they won't get mixed up with the control characters):

	'u' 'w' '-' 'b' 'e' 'a' 'v' 'e' 'r' '>' DEL DEL ^H

This extra-long name also seems to cause replication of articles on the net,
that aren't caught by nfrcv as duplicates.
