weird marks file

i've got a weird marks file, attached.  essentially, the regions all seem
out of whack.  this occured with an older cvs version of oort-7.  it's an
nnml group if that matters.  it takes a really long time to get into or
out of the group (possibly, that's obvious :).

the only thing interesting about this group is that it gets new mail split
into it via a fancy split *and* mail is inserted into it via a gcc.

since it is an archive group, i'll just whack the marks.

oops, it also looks like it has the same sort of problem in the
.newsrc.eld file.  loads of stuff like:

 ("nnml:mail.tump.2002.aug" 2 ((1 . 11) (13 . 16) (18 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 .
 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26) (24 . 22) (24 . 26)

this goes on at some length...

any advice would be appreciated.  thanks.

Does it happen with latest CVS?  Earlier Oort's had some marks trouble.

If you could pinpoint the operation that causes this, it would also
help.
