[leafnode-list] anyone seeing 1.9.50 "groupinfo not present or too small"?

[Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

A bug report was filed on sourceforge, reporting a fetchnews bug, where
fetchnews is falsely reporting "groupinfo not present or too small" when
the file is well above 2 MB.

Out of interest: Is anyone seeing this in 1.9.50? The bug is present and
there is a fix (patch below) but I cannot seem to trigger it. If you can
trigger it, please state whether it's a fresh install or an update, what
OS you're on and if you're using the filterfile option.

Thanks.
