Yes, this is happening to me too.  I can't seem to find where this is
happening.  The field in hbuf for the newsgroups line is usually set to
LBUFLEN which is 1024,
<header.h>
struct	hbuf {
	char	from[BUFLEN];		/* From:		*/
	char	path[PATHLEN];		/* Path:		*/
	char	nbuf[LBUFLEN];		/* Newsgroups:		*/
...
but somewhere this must be getting jammed into something of BUFLEN in
size, which is 128 on small address space systems.
Can anyone find where this is happening?
