Vnews hangs forever when it exits if a particular newsgroup has
article numbers > 10,000. The Chicago area weather system has
posted 10,346 articles but only 6 of them were present when I
isolated this problem. As soon as the first article header was
displayed, I hit "q" to exit. On every occasion, the screen
would clear but no prompt would return. SIGINT does nothing,
but SIGQUIT will cause a core dump on a memory fault. I finally
got it to work with a "vnews -n chi.weather" and I went all the
way through the six articles. It exited correctly.

I just tried that again, and I found that everything works fine as
long as you do not exit while you are being presented with newsgroups
with article numbers > 10,000. I did it several different ways, and
the result is the same.
