I'm using Gnus from Emacs CVS which I updated 2 months ago.

So I tried different values for the prefix and here are the ouptut of
M-x nnmail-split-history for each values. For each values, a mail was
previously sent and should reach my 'Inbox' group.

'g'    Ok -> Inbox:2599
'1 g' Ok -> Inbox:2600

'2 g' Ko -> Inbox:17
'3 g' Ko -> Inbox:18
'4 g' Ko -> Inbox:19
'5 g' Ko -> Inbox:20

'g'    Ok -> Inbox:2601

Ok means that the mail finally was delivered to the right group
('Inbox'), otherwise Ko, the mail is stuck in the 'Incoming' stage.

As you can see the sequence number after "Inbox::" seems to have been
reset in the non working case.

Hope that helps.
