It has been pointed out that there is a minor bug in my savenews
news archiver. In the function pop_dir, I accidently switched two
lines and was setting a pointer to NULL before I was freeing the pointer.
On some systems this will cause a segmentation fault, at best you simply
never recover your malloc()ed memory. The two lines should be:
free(dirstack[lastdir]);
dirstack[lastdir] = NULL;
instead of the other way around.

The offices were very nice, and the clients were only raping the land, and
then, of course, there was the money...
