Gnus estimates the number of articles in a group based on the lowest
article number and the highest article number. This estimate can be
very wrong if there are holes in the numbering sequence. These holes
could come from moving articles out of the group, or
deleting/expiring them.
Oort Gnus has a workaround for this, I believe, so that the estimate
is better.
