Here is the culprit:

Feb  5 18:28:25 garcon fetchnews[16411]: >NEWNEWS uk.people.bdsm 020205 175800
Feb  5 18:28:25 garcon fetchnews[16411]: <502 NEWNEWS Permission Denied (command disabled)
Feb  5 18:28:26 garcon fetchnews[16411]: >GROUP uk.people.bdsm
Feb  5 18:28:26 garcon fetchnews[16411]: <.

Leafnode does not expect the dot after the NEWNEWS error message.
Actually, I think there should be no dot after an error message
(i.e. I believe the news server runs faulty software; it runs
our favourite: NNTPcache, V2.4.0b5).
