Isn't this because Netscape then perhaps makes a new .newsrc file,
which is then read by Gnus because the timestamp is newer?

Thanks for reminding me why I have this in my .gnus:

(setq gnus-startup-file "/home/graaff/.newsrc-news.tudelft.nl")

That causes the normal .newsrc file to be called
.newsrc-news.tudelft.nl, and Gnus' own file
.newsrc-news.tudelft.nl.eld. If something else writes a .newsrc file,
Gnus takes no notice.
