System: rn version 4.1
Bug #: 28
Priority: LOW
Subject: rn doesn't find new articles as quickly as it should on 4.2

Description:
	Rn tries to discard the current buffer from the active file whenever
	it wants to find the size of a newsgroup, but the discard isn't
	successful most of the time on 4.2 because stdio buffers grew, and
	fseeking forward 1024 bytes doesn't usually get out of the current
	buffer.

Repeat-By:
	If you find that you have to exit a newsgroup and re-enter to get
	rn to see a new article, you have the problem.  In particular, you
	ought to be seeing your own followups without having to exit the
	newsgroup.

Fix:	From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
	Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch
