Clicking on the news://xxx@news/what.ever.group?list-ids link to remove expired
news postings hangs Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail & news

Error!
newsgroup server responded:No such article: 58116
Perhaps the article has expired
<me7d7vk6c04g6idfv0eeq3dmuj1ml9avfk@4ax.com> (58116)
Click here to remove all expired articles 
5. Click the link (which links to news://xxx@news/what.ever.group?list-ids
Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs (I get the infamous "rotating beach ball")

Expected Results:  
It should have removed the expired articles from the view of the newsgroup.

It works on 1.3.1 but not on 1.4 RC1.

Have you waited long enough to see if yours does the same?
