Here is the fix for readnews crashing after 8192 articles.
Add this line to defs.h. Make this number as big as you want, keeping it
a multiple of 8. I don't think it has to be a power of 2, but that's
what it was before.
#define BITMAPSIZE 32768 /* Size of bitmap for readnews; was hardcoded 8192 */
Now, make these changes in rextern.c and rfuncs.c:

News 2.10.2 handles newsgroups with articles with numbers > 8192 (but
not newsgroups with > 8192 active articles) by storing both the lowest article
number and the number of articles in the active file. The bitmap encodes the
status of articles minart..minart+nart-1, rather than the status of articles
0..8191. (Thanx and a tip of the Hatlo to Rick Adams for implementing this.)
