After thinking about this for a while, I now think the reason is that
Lars has added code which finds groups more often.  I.e., earlier most
people complained that they had set up Gnus to read mail, but their
mail groups didn't show up until they did `F'.

Now, maybe Gnus is a bit too aggressive in finding new groups.

Hm.

Or is it the changed default of gnus-read-active-file?  Does it help
to twiddle that?

Anyway, I think creating several backends to live in the same
directories is not a good idea.  Even if it used to work, that was
just luck.  Put your nnfolder groups in ~/Mail-nnfolder or something
and you'll be happy.

All of the above is just guesswork.  Lars, what do you think?
