When I say `g', it tells me `Mailbox foo modified' for many different
groups foo, including many that haven't changed in a year or so.  A
subsequent `J s' then fetches headers for all those groups (it
seems), which takes quite a while.

How come Gnus thinks these groups are modified, and is there a way to
tell it they aren't, and can the agent skip trying to fetch headers
for them?

Using a Cyrus 2.1.9 and a Cyrus 1.6.x server.
