On one server I read from, I notice it now feeding me a list of (what
appears to be) all the groups it has.  This just started since the Y2K
roll-over.

I notice when I do a:

        NEWGROUP 000104 153700

to ask for all groups since right now, that it lists them all, as it
does when I ask it to list since some date in the future, like:

        NEWGROUP 001004 000000

Since the NEWGROUP command only wants a 2-digit year, it seems
susseptible to Y2K insanity. Is there a Gnus workaround? Or is this a
server issue, with perhaps some sane windowing done in a version we
don't have (yet)?

Thanks.
