Visual SourceSafe RSS Generator Bug Fix

I've downloaded Greg Reinacker's c# source to generate RSS feeds from Visual SourceSafe and improved it by reducing the working set. Following is the unified diff. (Be careful of wrapped lines when you select it into a text file.) If you need a tool to apply this diff, I recommend Tortise Merge which is a part of TortiseSVN which is a Windows shell extension for Subversion.
