That's what I thought.

The problem didn't go away!

I should have time to try this next week.  In the meantime I have some 
intermediate bits of information that I hope will be of interest.

Right now the processes are still alive:
# ps aux|grep news
news     14159  0.0  0.1   4488  1228 ?        Ss   11:38   0:00 /bin/sh -c if [ -x /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news ]; then /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news; fi
news     14161  0.0  0.1   4492  1260 ?        S    11:38   0:00 /bin/sh /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news
news     14163  0.0  0.3   4612  3004 ?        S    11:38   0:00 /usr/sbin/fetchnews

but not doing anything:

$ find /var/spool/news/ -mmin -20
/var/spool/news/leaf.node

$ grep news /var/log/syslog
...

Jul  6 11:48:06 garcia fetchnews[14296]: Cannot obtain lock file, aborting.


But even though the server timed out, the connection is still open 
according to "netstat -a"
tcp        0      0 garcia:38365            text.news.blueyond:nntp ESTABLISHED

And the running fetchnews never tried the second server in my 
config file.  I think the problem is that the timeout is not 
closing the connection.
