[leafnode-list] leafnode doesn't unsubscribe unread groups after $timeout_long

[Andreas Muck <fam.muck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo out there,

I'm running leafnode 1.9.40rel and I noticed some time ago that leafnode
is still fetching groups that I unsubscribed some weeks ago. I'm sure
that nobody else on my machine is reading news - there are just 2 1/2
users (my daughter, my wife and me).

/etc/leafnode/config defines 'timeout_long = 7'.

`ls -l /var/spool/news/interesting.groups/` shows
(newline-escaping and indentation for better reading)

I unsubscribed group de.test on 05.05.2003, but it seems the file is
touched every time, fetchnews completes a fetching run on that group.

Any ideas?

Ciao
