Yeah, I get this too, but news postings and downloads seem to 
work OK notwithstanding so I am not too worried. I also get an
error which says something like USAGE GROUP blah blah (or is it
the same message? I can't remember). Anyway, it works all the same
and since it ain't broke I ain't worried :-)
