I don't know how widespread this is (the bug or the fix), but if your
newsgroups command never seems to produce any output even though you
know that there are unsubscribed groups, try changing the last four
lines of the newsgroups script to look like this.

/bin/echo "Unsubscribed but mentioned in .newsrc:"
/bin/sed -n < $dotdir/.newsrc \
	-e "/$1.*!/"'s/^\([^!]*\)!.*$/\1/p' \
	| \
/bin/sort | $pager

It works on our SysVR3.0.

The changes are the addition of the -n and removal of "-e 'd'".
