This is the version of news that contains the infamous line-eater bug.
There are other problems as well; you're apparently running into some
of them. Version 2.10.2 has been the standard version of news for over
a year.  2.10.3 is now in beta test. I presume it will be released via
mod.sources soon -- could some knowledgeable person please post a message
discussing its status?

The bitmap is gone from 2.10.2. This is good: the bitmap was too easy
to corrupt. I recommend that you convert to 2.10.2 as soon as possible.
Someone in your area should have the sources.

Will some kind soul that talks to, or is geographically near, adiron,
please provide them with the new sources?
