Suppose Gnus issues a `LIST ACTIVE' command, and the server responds
with `215 foo' -- then everything should be fine. But what if the
server responds with `215' (the space and the message are missing)?
What would happen in this case? Does anybody know?
IMVHO, Gnus should accept this response, too. Even if it might
violate the RFC, which possibly (I haven't looked) requires a space
and a message to follow the status code.

It would try to treat it as a newsgroup. I'll commit the following
soonish unless someone objects. (And yes, it is g-i-newsgroups which
is, somewhat non-inuitively, used to remove the NNTP responses.)
