I just installed the Performance Release of C News on our campus-wide
news servers last weekend and it seems as though something is broken.

I'm calling relaynews with `-g' on our news numbering master machine
and with `-b umn.edu' on our slave news reading machines (the ones
people have access to on campus).

Unfortunately, I'm seeing it where the cross-posted article is
correctly stored on the master machine, but on the slaves it is only
stored in the first group on the list of newsgroups and the Xref header
is stripped.  Additionally, the history entry only lists the first
group.

For example, I posted a test message in `umn.cs.test,umn.news-server.test'
and it shows up in the master's history file as 

<C0pnLn.Fsp@news2.cis.umn.edu>  726791126~-     umn.cs.test/126 umn.news-server.test/214

On the slaves, it ends up being

<C0pnLn.Fsp@news2.cis.umn.edu>  726791314~-     umn.cs.test/126

It is physically only present in the umn/cs/test directory and the Xref
header (which was present in the copy on the master) has been deleted.

I turned newsrunning off and grabbed the article before it was
processed by relaynews on the client and it had a reasonable Xref line.
Specifically, it was 

  ! rnews 586 news2.cis.umn.edu
  Xref: umn.edu umn.cs.test:126 umn.news-server.test:214
  Newsgroups: umn.cs.test,umn.news-server.test

I'm running SunOS 4.1.2 and I believe I applied all of the
known.problems patches.  I'm not using the fast stdio stuff.  Has
anyone seen this?  I find it hard to believe that something like this
has gone unnoticed all this time so I suspect it is somehow my fault.
:-)

Thanks!
