Yep.

Well I tried.  Downloaded valgrind, but I couldn't figure out how to
make it play nice. :-(

  `valgrind --trace-children=yes --logfile=/tmp/inn-grind rc.news'

...produced lots of log files in /tmp, but none of them seemed to
pertain to innd.  No doubt I'm doing something stupid.  What do I need
to do to collect the information you're looking for?
