Yep, clean. I got the startup wizard after upgrading and starting Pan. Here's 
the debug log
by running Pan and loading two newsgroups (alt.ascii-art and a busy binary 
newsgroup) from
subscribed newsgroup list.

OK, I see that but I only see nine other newsgroups. It seems like those are 
the groups I 
recently unsubscribed over the last month or so. I also tried refreshing group 
list, but 
that failed (didn't do anything).

Rats. Hmm, I think I am going to keep using the old version for now because of 
the issues I 
have run into.
