[net.news.b] problem with -i=<#> switch

/* i think i found the line eater's new home.... */

i seem to have come up with a problem trying to specify the -i switch in
the RNINIT  environment variable -- it only seems to notice it if the
switch is not the first switch in the variable. also, it didn't seem to
work right trying to set it with the & command inside rn, but then i'm
not very familiar with &, and i could have just screwed that part up.

can anyone else duplicate this or am i just crazy?
