I was wrong, I see this when they get posted (or should get posted) when
fetchnews sees them and now that I have the latest snapshot (thanks!!) they
do get moved to failed.postings :-(

found 9 articles in in.coming.
store: cannot open current directory
Could not store /var/spool/news/in.coming/3615-1031250303-1: 
      "OS trouble, see previous log messages for details", 
      moving to /var/spool/news/failed.postings/

I think what's happening is that I run fetchnews using sudo -u news,
does sudo keep the current pwd? I guess so.
news can't open my home directory and it chokes

Why does it need to open the current directory? 
Well I've looked at store.c and I can see why, it need to get back there

I tried running it from /tmp and it worked so unless the OS problem had
gone away, that looks to be the cause.
