Same here. Seems that invoking inews in any manner other than with no
args (which results in a usage summary) dumps core. When invoked by
'cat [spooled news file] | /usr/local/bin/rnews' (rnews is a symbolic
link to inews), dbx says we lost it in chkfile (chkfile's parameter,
"/usr/local/lib/news/active", has the right permissions, and inews is
setuid and setgid). Anyway, dbx seems sorely confused, as the line
number it gives is meaningless, and it says chkfile was called by
_dwmultu, which is in turn the top of the calling stack. At any rate,
I'll let that mystery remain unsolved if someone has a localize.sh
that works for them on the 4D architecture. Thanx. - jdt
