>Summary: "GMT" arg to NEWGROUPS is ignored

Initial Comment:
noffle silently ignores the optional "GMT" argument in it's implementation of the NEWGROUPS command.

In my case, (1) I'm in timezone GMT+10, and (2) I just installed noffle, so most of my groups are less than 
ten hours old.  The result is that every time I start my news-reader, all 40000+ of the groups in my active file 
are reported as new.

I'm using Gnus, in which handling new groups is quite expensive: 40000+ groups basically sends it into a 
tailspin for a few minutes.  I suspect that this is the cause of the "
GNUS hangs" problem mentioned in the FAQ.

Yup, appears to be fixed in the CVS version.  

Thanks Jim.

G'day Mike,

The GMT problem should now be fixed in CVS. Thank you for
spotting this in (northern) summer; verifying fixes is
easier when your local time zone isn't GMT.

Thanks for the suggestion over the 'Gnus hangs' FAQ entry.
It might well be that; I've never managed to reproduce the
problem, but I suspect I always tried when TZ=GMT....

BTW, can you try the CVS version youself, or would you like
me to do a new point release?

Jim
