[NeXT has a fixed version of NewsGrazer...  They refuse to release it at
this time due to their software policies... -pasc]

Some clown created a news group 

alt.music.pop.will.eat.itself.X.Y.&.Z.electrix.sunshine.mix

The "&" in the name causes NewsGrazer to abort with a bus error
while locating active news group.   Have your news administrator
remove this group from the active list.
