It seems your active file is corrupted. 

I guess you are using agent. It happens since pGnus may insert group
list into an un-erased buffer and save it as the active file for
agent.  However, this bug is difficult to trace.

To fix the active file, remove those lines in it. I guess, it is
~/News/agent/nntp/cyclone.nyroc.rr.com/agent.lib/active.
