What is the problem with having gnus-read-active-file equal to 'some?
This stopped working somewhere along the line in rgnus, and it
doesn't work in 0.52, at least for me, under XEmacs 19.14.

I would appreciate it if somebody could take a look at this code in
nntp.el. It apparently doesn't work for quite a lot of people, but I
have so far been unable to reproduce or fix the bug. The functions to
peek at are `nntp-retrieve-groups' and `nntp-try-list-active'.

I did this once, and sent them to gnus-bug. The test for the presence
of LIST ACTIVE GROUP is bogus. I've been using
(setq nntp-server-list-active-group nil)
in .emacs as a workaround, and it works fine.

Yes, but why does the test fail? I thought I managed to fix the
problem...
Hang on -- wasn't there a problem with the Netscape nntp server which
didn't return an error message when given the "LIST ACTIVE group"
command? Uhm, yes:
(defvoo nntp-server-action-alist
'(("nntpd 1\\.5\\.11t"
(remove-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-mode-reader))
("NNRP server Netscape"
(setq nntp-server-list-active-group nil))))
So that variable should be set to nil when using Netscape's server.
Doesn't that work?

Aieee! The test doesn't fail on GNU Emacs, I just found out ... :-(

It works on Emacs but not on XEmacs :-(.

Yes, that clears things up for me on XEmacs.
Now if only I can figure out how to make customize behave and save
some settings ...

Hm. I see that the function didn't bind `case-fold-search'. (Fix in
Red Gnus v0.53.) Could that be the cause?
