I should do (gnus-registry-initialize) right after I 'require' it, correct?

I tried this but it doesn't want to crash anymore.  Yes, I tried it before I
added (gnus-registry-initialize).  If I see any more errors I'll post a
backtrace.

When the registry is initilalized, it tracks where all articles have been
filed?  And that's what allows (gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent) to
know what to do?  Why doesn't that cause alot of unacceptable overhead?

How would one do that?

But nothiung bad would happen, right?  It would just not be split where I
might have wanted it go, right?

I think the latest gnus package (as available through XEmacs) is 5.10.2.
Will the registry be part of 5.10.3?  Will there be a 5.10.3?
