Access permission bug?

I have a problem with the nntpcache.access file that I think is a bug, but
thought I'd pass it by the group to make sure.  My nntpcache.access file
looks like:

# By default - deny access
*                       *               deny

# Allow access from TOPNZ machines
localhost               *               read,post,filter        spam.filter
*.topnz.ac.nz           *               read,post,filter        spam.filter

# Allow anyone to access topnz.* groups
*                       topnz.*         read,post

newsfeed.clear.net.nz   *               read,post

The line causing the problem is the second to last one which is meant to
grant access to one hierarchy only.  Unfortunately it seems that if anything
other than an asterix is placed in the group column, the line is ignored.

I've tried various combinations of hostname and groups, as well as changing
the position of the offending line in the file.  I've also tried with and
without the 'quick' keyword.

I've tried this with 2.3.3, 2.4.0b3, 2.4.0b4 and 2.4.0b5 and it seems to be
the same in all of them.

Can someone please confirm that this is a bug (and suggest a fix?) before I
go totally bonkers.

Cheers
Kevin
