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...

It's in the source of inews - I looked at it a while ago because I was curious too.
