On upgrading, I found that the read marks are all gone.  I believe I
read another report on this before.  But the wierdness does not end
there.  Let me explain:

(a) I installed 0.04 and started emacs.  I started gnus with M-x
    gnus-unpluged RET
(b) A gory sight greeted me --- a gazillion unread messages.
(c) I thought for a second and quickly pressed 'q' to quit from.
(d) After a few deep breaths, I did the M-x gnus-unplugged RET
    routine, and lo and behold!!  things were as they should have
    been.
(e) I repeated the above steps (from starting emacs) to confirm this
    behaviour.
(f) In one pass, during the second gnus invocation, I entered a group
    and changed some marks, 's'ed in *Group* buffer and quit emacs.
    Then I restarted Emacs.  Again all groups showed unread messages
    _except_ the group I had just edited.
(g) I restarted Emacs and did (setq nnml-marks-is-evil t) and life
    appeared normal.

Is there a fix for this in CVS?
