After updating my all.SCORE file, gnus killed almost all articles.
The buggy line looked something like this (-:
("references" ("foo\\|bar\\|cafe\\|xyzzy\\|" -1000 nil r))

Because a zero-length search string will match (return 0) in any string.
Oops. This is not a bug at all; a zero-length string is a valid subset
of any string.
