"Warning - invalid active:" in v0.99

[Jack Twilley]

The following spammed across my minibuffer.  I snarfed it out of
*Messages*.  I don't think I did anything wrong -- the most recent
change I made was to another group's score file.

I'm using a version I downloaded from the CVS earlier tonight.

Thanks!
Jack.

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.

I think this sounds reasonable.

Hrm.  I'm not using agent.

No such directory.  Any other suggestions?

Could you reproduce this bug? 

I think I've located the bug and fixed it in CVS. Please check out the
latest CVS, and test it.

I have checked out the latest CVS (as of a few minutes ago) and do not
see the bug still.
