It turns out that NewsGrazer bites it when it encounters a newsgroup whose  
name has about 10 or more '.' in its name. There was an alt group created  
recently that had just this characteristic. The only solution at this point  
is to plead to your News administrator and have him/her delete the offending  
newsgroup from your site.
