I'm having some problems printing from NEWS V5.8A.  The routine sjc_close_job 
has some problems.  For one thing, it doesn't check the return value from 
sys$sndjbcw, and for some reason, I sometimes get an return code of BADPARAM.
Also, if sys$sndjbcw gets a bad value in the iosb, sjc_close_job puts an error 
message in err_oline, but then do_print overwrites the message (for 
print/nowait).

I'm not yet sure why I'm having problems in the first place, but I have to 
start by getting news to report errors that it gets from VMS.  There's only a 
problem printing from certain newsgroups.

Is any of this fixed in V5.9?
