Bug in NNTP 1.5.3

In the NNTP access file, it is possible to specify a selcttion
of distribution(s) for a given site, e.g. (from the example
access file):
# ic can read and post news, but users on ic cannot read
# articles in the group ucb.postgres or any of its decendents
# (e.g., ucb.postgres.core)
ic read post !ucb.postgres
When I specify "!comp", newsgroups comp.all... are not
transmitted to the specified host. However, when I specify "comp"
I would expect *ONLY* comp.all... groups to be exposed.
Apparently, only exclusion of groups works.
Is this a bug, or am I mistaken?
