[leafnode-list] Excessive error handling on "store: no valid newsgroups"

Hi.
Leafnode gets all confused when trying to parse this control message:
Subject: cmsg newgroup alt.suisse.bal.andree.colon
Message-ID: <4144.592285156256018.6767578125318.603515625 at 166.134.36.195>
The relevant portion of the output of fetchnews looks like this. For
testing purposes I set the initialfetch value to 10.
news.individual.de: control.newgroup: skipping articles 1-257963
inclusive (initial limit)
control.newgroup: considering 10 articles 257964 - 257973, using XOVER
control.newgroup: XOVER: 10 seen, 0 I have, 0 filtered, 10 to get
control.newgroup: will fetch 10 articles
store: no valid newsgroups
Wrong reply to ARTICLE command: "Booster to reverse rogue rmgroup."
control.newgroup: 1 articles fetched (to 2), 0 killed
news.individual.de: cannot parse reply to "GROUP control.rmgroup": "***Verstärkermeldung*** ***Booster*** ***lettre de renforcateur***"
ERROR: FETCHNEWS MUST REFETCH THE WHOLE ACTIVE FILE NEXT RUN.
REASON: could not successfully talk to all servers.
I guess leafnode bails with "store: no valid newsgroups" because this
posting doesn't contain control.newgroup in its Newsgroups-line.
I don't know if leafnode should store a message in a newsgroup when
this newsgroup is missing from the header.
But it shouldn't just bail without consuming the articles body. A
check with ethereal showed that leafnode tries to parse the body of
the control message as response to the subsequent ARTICLE and GROUP
requests.
Bye
Patric
