[Noffle-devel] [ noffle-Bugs-578253 ] auto-subscribe broken

This happens if noffle is online and no article or pseudo
exists. It's a SNAFU:

The group will be auto-subscribed after the first article have been
read. But no pseudo will be generated in online mode.

Patching server.c seems to fix it:

static Bool
needsPseudoGenInfo( const char *grp )
{
    return ! ( Grp_local( grp )
-               || Fetchlist_contains( grp, NULL )
-               || Online_true() );
+               || Fetchlist_contains( grp, NULL ) );
}

But I suppose generating pseudo-articles in online mode is a BAD thing.
There's always the possibility of loops of chained servers.

I think there's something wrong with content.c:setupEmpty().
