[net.news.b] bug in vnews

I have found another bug in vnews that I haven't had time to track down
yet. It seems to be a case of Yet Another Missing Fclose! The 'K' command,
when used more than about 10 times in a session, seems to eat up all
available file descripters. vnews then seems to either hang looping to open
something or the write of the .newsrc fails (leaving you with a 0 length
.newsrc-- wonderful stuff...) I'm going to look into it next week or so,
but I thought I'd warn everyone. First I need to rebuild my .newsrc.

I bet you guess where I was some time ago, and I bet the you really didn't
know. I don't need you, I don't want you, but I might change my mind...
