I, too found the exact same problem on a VAX running SysVr2 and my 3b2.
Seems the patch makes those two variables extern with no other declaration.
I temporarily removed the extern's and all seems to be fixed with that.
However, there is another rather large problem.  inews.c now has a patch
to make sure that rnews -U does not run while expire is running.  However,
rnews -U does not work at all, now.  A friend looked at the code, and
temporarily had me do a "rnews -S -U" instead and also patch expire.c
to use the same string.  Seems the #ifdefs are messed up in inews.c.
Was patch#2 tested on a SysV system with SPOOLNEWS defined?
