Both yesterday and today I was unable to post followups because rrn hung.
Doing a "ps -ux" showed the Postnews script and inews -h idle.  It happened
one time while I was telnetted to athena.dialup (an RT, this time) and one
time while logged in to a uVAX in the student-center cluster.  Oh, and when I
say hung, I mean no change for over 1/2 hour (I ^Z'd it and put it the
background after the first 10 minutes).  The only anomoly about the postings
was that both had what might be invalid "Distribution:"s.  One was "world"
while the other was "gnu".

I asked olc for help, but they were clueless and referred me to you.  Thanks
in advance for any aid -- Peter
