Well thats good news I guess.

Gack.. it just so happens that the first 3 groups I thought of that
weren't visible had actually been killed.  Maybe quite some time
ago... maybe even on a different machine.

I should have tried a few that were actually visible already to make
sure.

I tried `web'  (I once had 2 of those)
I tried `ford' (I had two ford truck groups once upon a time)
I tried `kde'  (Had 3 of those...)

I just knew I still had some of those.

When I saw your post, tried the obvious thing (groups I could see) and
it worked just like it should.

I'm not sure what brought up all the goofy stuff.  I don't see it now
but then I went through it when it came up and killed it all off.

There is one thing there I notice and I guess you say its probably
normal.  

After running `A M' if you open a topic with no hits displayed it
rolls out all the groups under there.  In my case I hit the nnml topic
and rolled out literally 150+ groups.  Many have not seen the light of
day for years. (but none were killed or zombied at least)
