Fiddling around with this I managed to totally bork the display in the
Groups buffer, such that basically nothing was shown and the following
error was produced:

  progn: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p

Just reverting the changes in init.el was not enough and I had to roll
back to the versions of .newsrc and .newsrc.eld from this morning
(Thanks, Git!).

Cheers,

Loris
