	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".
