Rn bug with 2.10.2 inews patch?

I have installed the inews.c.2.pat in a test version of my 2.10.2
inews (along with the corresponding patches for header.h and header.c)
on my Unix 5.0.5 system (AT&T 3B20S). I'd appreciate it if anyone
out there who has successfully done this would get in touch with me.
Maybe someone can tell me what I've done wrong. What I get after
feeding an article file to my test inews is that SPOOL/.inaxxxxx
gets created with my article and my signature appended. This file
is left behind when inews is through. A zero length file is created
as SPOOL/.araxxxxx and is linked to names corresponding to where the
real live article should be (e.g. SPOOL/test/8 and SPOOL/net/test/403).
All such zero-length files are left behind when inews is through. I
believe that I have defined (-DDOXREFS) in the makefile for inews.o
and for header.o. I have not installed any LINKART patches, as I
don't plan to run under Eunice in this lifetime. The "xxxxx" in the
above filenames are filled in with digits. When I was doing beta testing
of rn, under 2.10, I had the same problem. I wasn't so careful that
time, and incoming news got botched in the same manner. Help!? Thanks.
