News batching problem since upgrading

[George Bonser <grep@oriole.sbay.org>]

I upgraded several packages last night from 1.2 to Frozen.  Most of the
packages were important packages in section base.  I DID NOT upgrade
bash or c-news.

Why am I suddenly getting the following error when sendbatches runs?
