That commands gives an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Couldn't request group: No matching articles")
  signal(error ("Couldn't request group: No matching articles"))
  error("Couldn't request group: %s" "No matching articles")

I'm using the cvs version from about 10 minutes ago, with GNU Emacs
21.1.50.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2001-12-23 on seton
