This, by the way, is the cause of the 'unbatcher out of sync' that
someone else asked about recently.  Cnews looks at the '#! rnews <N>'
line to see how long the following message is.  It pulls out that many
characters as a 'message' to be processed.  It SHOULD then be at the
next such #! line.  If it looks up and discovers it is in the middle of
a 'message' instead, it has to throw stuff away until it finds such a
line, to resync itself.
