What is the maximum number of articles that inews will deal with
in any given news group directory?  I've been hacking the 'rn'
source, and all article number print statments have "%5ld".  What
happens when the system goes over five digits?  Does inews
automatically renumber all of the articles at that point?

Waiting for the end of the world...
