is there any truth to the rumor that the copy of netnoise distributed
with 4.2 BSD is an old version, having the infamous """"line eater""""
bug?  this is NOT a joke.  i heard it from astrovax!wls who debugs DMA
device drivers with his bare teeth.  there seems to be a corollary of
the north/honey ("netnews is a slow-moving parody of itself") thesis
applying to 4.2bsd, but that is left, as they say, as an exercise for
the student.
