It is worth pointing out that if you have installed Larry Wall's patches
to inews that generate the Xref line, you have two copies of the code
which copies the article body.  One is in the spot I described in
my previous diff, and one is down at the bottom of insert().  One or
the other is compiled depending on whether DOXREFS is defined.
So there are two copies of the code that have to be fixed.
