NL v6.5B6 bot spins "Locating group header range ..."

[RBob]

NL v6.5B6
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit

I have 9 connections defined, 8 set for group updates, 4 each for 2 providers and a 7Mb/s DSL connection.

Initial update limit: 30 days
Keep headers for: 7 days

I do an Update Groups->All: Get New Headers and after the process seems to complete, more often than not one or more of the connections spins, apparently forever, showing

Locating group header range up to 30.0 days of age (/)

with the (/) representing a spinner suggesting that it's still doing something.

Sorry to say that I don't remember if it's always the same group(s).

There's nothing in the log that shows anything about this.

Same problem on 7.0 beta 10.

Spinner is just sitting there. I haven't thouroghly checked if it's actually doing anything, but it doesn't appear so.

What does it mean? What is it actually doing when this spinner is showing?
