[leafnode-list] Filterfile not working at all

[Jeffrey Goldberg <jeffrey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running most recent beta that is listed on www.leafnode.org (is there
something more recent?), plus patches from comp.mail.pine to fix the
leafnode signal handling bug and restoring timeout back from 2 minutes to
15 minutes, but those patches shouldn't matter for the problem I report
here.

I simply can't get a filterfile to work.  My filterfile looks like

 newsgroups = uk.*
 pattern = ^Path:.*\.alt\.net!usenet$
 action = kill

But here is the relevant bits from my log file when fetchnews is run

Jan 30 16:37:13 lehel fetchnews[18183]: No newsgroup for expression ^Path:.*\.alt\.net!usenet$ found
Jan 30 16:37:13 lehel fetchnews[18183]: No pattern found for action kill

I've had the same problem if I set

 newsgroups = *

(and at one time, I had a typo
   newgroup = *
and the result was a segfault).

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

-j
