I think I found the problem.  I set up the newsfeeds file like our sys
file was set up for c-news in that I made the nntplink feeds write to
/dev/null.  I think it was trying to nonblock /dev/null.  Now I have my
nntplink entry looking like this:

:Tc,Wfm:/usr/local/news/bin/nntplink -i stdin uxa.ecn.bgu.edu

It seems like I tried Tc when I had inn compiled with Sun's unbundled
compiler and it did not work so I did it the /dev/null way until I
could find the problem.  Since then I compiled it with /bin/cc and it
works.
