(How many times have I gone over this with how many people???....)

The problem is a bug in 2.10.1 news where it makes a check for
site name with prefix instead of strcmp (or something similar).
The bug is triggered at the receiving site (in our case, decwrl)
so there is nothing we can do to fix it.  I have reported the bug
and suggested (although still untested, I believe) fix to many
people who have complained.  Can someone confirm or deny whether
the bug has been fixed in 2.10.2?  (Will this become the equivalent
of the line-eater bug for 2.10.2?)
