There is a problem with the distributed unbnews.c (in 2.10.1)
This problem only affects machines where (sizeof int) != (sizeof long)
The manifestation is that any LONG article (size > 32767) will cause
unbnews to bomb out. I discovered this bug while working on a batched
news spooler (the pipe to unbnews kept vanishing).
