Applied the patch, and no luck.  My Maildir directory is actually completely empty, no mail files at all.

Nevermind.  Your patch worked great.  It's just me that's a doofus.
Thanks!

Everything appears back to normal.

Hrm.  Actually.  Are you sure about that patch?  

I applied it, and then tried to byte compile it, and got an error:

1999 
  ** variable coding-system-for-read bound but not referenced 
  ** variable pathname-coding-system bound but not referenced 
While compiling nnmail-save-active: 
  ** variable coding-system-for-write bound but not referenced 
While compiling nnmail-get-split-group: 
  ** variable predicate bound but not referenced 
  ** variable path bound but not referenced 
While compiling toplevel forms: 
  !! End of stream ((#<buffer " *Compiler Input*">))

Even trying it without byte compiling it gives the same End of stream error.

I guess you got a bad mail which does not contain "\n\n" (maybe an

nnmail-process-maildir-mail-format.  Hope this patch solve your
problem.

BTW, gnu.emacs.gnus is wrong place to post bug about pgnus.  Send it
to ding@gnus.org.
