Description:
When new articles arrive, rn prints a message telling the user how
many new articles have arrived. ("nn new articles have arrived!")
The count is incorrect.
Repeat by:
Wait till this event occurs and the number of new articles reported
will be the sum of the old number of articles + the new ones that
have arrived instead of the difference between the new count and
the last know high numbered article.
Fix:
The wrong variable name was used in the calculation, diffs follow.
Your rcsid and line numbers may vary.
