Ok, I've done a bit more checking. I must have made a mistake earlier, the
group:

   0000000.0000:alt.religion.rasta-khan

really does exist. You can find it on the server: freebin.readnews.com

Just to make sure of it, I used pan 0.14.90 to load the list of groups
from that server... and then tried Thunderbird 1.5 too. Both list it.
