[net.news.b] Another bug in vnews.

I think that there is a bug in the -x option of vnews (version 2.10.1). I can
see in the directories that there is one article on our system in
net.news.adm.  However when I type: 
	vnews -x -n net.news.adm 
it replies "No News".   However, 
	readnews -x -n net.news.adm
finds the article. This article is also in net.news.
	vnews -x -n net.news
skips over the article but finds it when one goes directly to the article with
the `A' command.  What gives?  I suspect that it is probably a bug in the
code which tries to prevent an article posted to multiple groups from being
shown more than once.  However there should be some way to override this
feature.

I recently posted an article with some fixes to readr.c.  When applied
to the corresponding place in visual.c, those fixes solved this problem
also.
