(come on Len, we spent a good week debating this only about 21 months ago! :-)

They're "gnu.all.bug", not "gnu.all.bugs" - note the expectation of
only singularly interesting bugs :-)  The names correspond to the
pre-existant mailing lists (e.g. bug-gcc) rather than to the Usenet
newsgroup naming conventions (e.g. comp.bugs.2bsd).
