'rn' isn't marking cross-posts (was 'Too much cross-posting?')

Mark Dapoz (mdapoz at hybrid.UUCP) posted this - and we got it just after Alex
Chan had gotten the same tip from someone he knows over at Tektronix who
evidently had this adventure also:
>I found that I had to define both DOXREFS *and* NORELAY to get rn to handle
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bingo!!!
>the Xref: line properly. Defining just DOXREFS wasn't good enough 'cause rn

Right on target, Mark. Alex Chan made the fix this evening, and 'rn' is just
*cookin'*! We want to use it for a day or so before we declare *final*
victory over this dragon, but - it's fixed. Alex has seperately posted a
brief note confirming what he did.
Thanks to Mark, Lenny, Chris and all others who helped us solve this one!
