Figured out why it keeps re-adding this stuff: the byte count in the
header preceeding the .gnus.el part of the sync package, is wrong:

(:type :file :file-name "~/.gnus.el" :timestamp "2021-09-19T15:04:33+0200" :length 16241)

If I take the 16241 bytes of the sync file, following the above headers,
I end with the stuff that created the problems above.

As to why the byte count is wrong: I'm guessing it is because I'm
syncing from a Windows machine and to a debian machine and the extra
bytes are the CRs in the CR-LF line endings.

The .gnus.el file is 487 lines and (- 16241 487) is 15754 and taking the
15754 ends the file in the correct place, so that seems right.

What would be the best way to make this less fragile, I wonder...?

The current value is just the size of the buffer:
