I was mistaken when I wrote:

>"comp.all.binaries".

This was because I had used "gngp" without the "-a" flag on the active
file, which produces anomalous results because the stuff after the
newsgroup name is treated as part of the last token.  So "all.test"
doesn't match "misc.test xxxx" since "test" doesn't match "test xxxx".
