Whine. :/

I updated my Gnus to the CVS version at:
Built at Sun Aug 19 15:53:16 EST 2001

Recompile, yada, yada, then we boot XEmacs and it starts Gnus...

...the bootstrapping of the NNML marks works just fine.

Then I note that the summary buffer is ... odd. The majority of my
groups seem to have three articles in them now, which is odd, given the
standard set is > 2000 for most of them.

So, this is odd. To continue testing, I try entering the group where I
file the output of my log monitors and such. It's only got one message
in it, which is nice.

It, of course, reports one unread out of three articles. Trying to enter
the group results in the single message being marked read but *no*
indication of a summary buffer. Ho, hum.

So, I make the last test and 'g' in the groups buffer, which restores
the system message to life. Ugh.

So, back out the changes to the day before your commit of the
stand-alone NNML stuff and it's all good again.

*sigh*

So, Simon, suggestions on how I might go about debugging this?
