`M-c' doesn't fail for me:

,----[ Output of `G E' before `M-c' ]
| ("gmane.announce" 3
|  ((1 . 7483)
|   (7485 . 7492))
|  ((seen
|    (7448 . 7492))))
`----

Note that the read article ranges "(1 . 7483) (7485 . 7492)" disappear
after `M-c':

,----[ Output of `G E' after `M-c' ]
| ("gmane.announce" 3 nil nil)
`----

I noticed that `M c' doesn't clear the data in the .agentview file of
the group.  Maybe this matters.

,----[ cat News/agent/nntp/localhost/gmane/announce/.agentview ]
| ((7448 . 732279) (7449 . 732279) [...]
|  (7491 . 732279) (7492 . 732279))
`----

Bye, Reiner.
