The code looks good to me and seems to make sense, but it doesn't fix
the problem for me. If I start tin with '-QACg $SERVER', write a
followup and wait for the server to close the connection, tin reconnects
and posts, but then exits with 'NNTP connection error. Exiting...'.
Interestingly it works when I call tin with '-D 1' additionally.
