-------------------------
There is a bug in the 2.11 checkgroups script which applies
to all systems which have 14 character file names. Two temporary
files potentially have the same first 14 characters when prepended
by a 4 or 5 character process id:
/tmp/12345active.mod.all (where 12345 is the process id)
/tmp/12345active.mod
This messes up the checking of moderated newsgroups.
The fix is easy: change $$active.mod.all to $$act.mod.all
A context diff for checkgroups.sh (the source for checkgroups) is
given below.
