Yes, but why does the test fail?  I thought I managed to fix the
problem... 

Hang on -- wasn't there a problem with the Netscape nntp server which
didn't return an error message when given the "LIST ACTIVE group"
command?  Uhm, yes:

(defvoo nntp-server-action-alist 
  '(("nntpd 1\\.5\\.11t" 
     (remove-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-mode-reader))
    ("NNRP server Netscape" 
     (setq nntp-server-list-active-group nil))))

So that variable should be set to nil when using Netscape's server.
Doesn't that work?
