It's probably confused by the presence of the (unsubscribed) group
alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt.alt

always start xrn with the option "+fullNewsrc" or add the line
XRn*fullNewsrc: false
to your .Xresources, that problem should probably go away.

According to xrn's manpage (man xrn), that's the default behavior if
there are no new groups.
