[news.software.b] checkgroups with local groups fails under 4.2bsd derivatives

marka@natmlab.dms.oz (Mark Andrews) (12/10/86)

	Checkgroups fails due to problem with /bin/echo. Local newsgroup
	checking is introduced with a line of the form "-n group". This
	line is then echoed quoted at sed. The problem is that echo only
	checks the first two characters of the first arguement for "-n"
	and not the third for '\0'. So 'echo "-n 1234" 5678' will
	produce "5678".
