nnml out of sync?

I have a folder that I use for spam. Some messages get there
automatically by splitting, but most are 'B m'ed there by me for
occasional use in filter training. The folder expires mail
automatically:

((timestamp 15983 7997)
 (auto-expire . t)
 (total-expire . t)
 (expiry-wait . 3))

Today I went to do a little training. I thought I had about 80
messages in the folder. But the directory contains over 1200 messages.
Entering the group with C-u g doesn't show more than the 80 or so I
expected. Rebuilding the NOV database didn't change anything.

Why are all those extra files not also messages? Why don't they show up?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

Well, have a look at them...  How many entries (lines) does the
.overview file have in that directory?

<gulp/>. The files are gone. That's the worst case of
non-reproducibility I've encountered in a *long* time.

There were there this morning, I swear. I watched hammie.py count all
1200 of them.

/me walks away confused.
