bug fix in USG ftime
In ftime.c, function ftime(),
which is supplied for USG machines,
the time zone information is set incorrectly.
For USG machines, the external variable timezone
is a number in seconds; see ctime(1).
For the ftime structure this number should be in minutes.
So change,
       tp->timezone = timezone;
to
       tp->timezone = timezone/60;
This bug causes expired articles to stay around for an extra 12 days.

Another point. There are now so many newsgroups that the default value
for LINES (50) in defs.h is too small for people who subscribe to "all".
