Grepping the source for incomplete turned out to reveal the article
on out.going no longer had +x. I must've seen it wrong when I
checked that. No matter, it seems fixed now, my fault.

And now for the stracing...

Syslog:

Aug 31 04:37:00 polaris fetchnews[24696]: >QUIT
Aug 31 04:37:00 polaris fetchnews[24696]: could not hand over lockfile to child: No such file or directory, waiting until child is done.
Aug 31 04:37:00 polaris fetchnews[24697]: Process forked.

the stderr messages are:

Process 24697 attached
Process 24696 suspended
Process 24696 resumed
Process 24697 detached

There was no other mention of fetchnews.lck in the strace than what
is above.
