I found the problem in inews for runaway news, but I don't know
exactly why. The recent fixes in ifuncs.c are wrong. Those are
the ones where the file pointer passed to transmit stays open
thru successive calls. In the old way, everything's OK. It could
be that transmit is called from somewhere else than broadcast()
and it doesn't know the convention of who opens/closes the file
pointer. Maybe the original bug is still here, but it's not as
deadly. I guess putting the fclose() before each return above
the fclose(ifp) that was removed is the way to go.
