Subject: Nnslashdot group containing "\w+:\s+\w+" causes error
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 09:10:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <qzu4qw2a74g.fsf@butler.cc.tut.fi> (raw)


I updated my Gnus from CVS this morning (2003-12-15). When I tried to
start Gnus it began, during the startup, asking my password for ftp
site ".god Domain Names". When I tried to find what's going on, I
found out that there was an old nnslashdot-group ".god Domain Names:
and something".

It seems that if the name of an nnslashdot group contains (in a perl
syntax) a string "\w+:\s+\w+", Gnus eventually lauches ange-ftp which
tries to connect to a site the name of which is the name of the group
up to the colon.

Unfotunately, I didn't save the backtrace.
