It should be posted now.....  the problem was that your posting had a
blank references line, and that caused the system to choke.  I deleted
the blank References: header line, and the news system accepted the
posting just fine.

To the news software maintainers: I also fixed up and delivered the
other rejected postings in dead.article.  Problems included blank
subject lines and spaces in the Newsgroups: line.  Apparently these
aren't getting filtered out at the news posting time; sinews needs to do
additional error checking.
