A newsgroup I subscribe to, comp.compilers, has the wrong article
count. I never see any new News unless I enter the group and ask for
all articles.

If I ask for the latest 200 articles, i.e. by C-u 1 0 0 RET on the
group in the Group Buffer, I get nothing.

Gnus seems to think there are 10651 articles in the group, but if I
telnet to the server it says:

  group comp.compilers
  211 411 8841 9514 comp.compilers

I tried to kill the group and subscribe again, but that didn't help. 

I tried to find all mentions of the group in .newsrc.eld and other
files and remove them. Then I restarted Emacs and Gnus, but that
didn't help. 

Gnus still thinks there are 10651 articles in the group and gives me
nothing when I ask for, say, the last 200.

Any ideas?

To generate this report, I restarted Emacs, then started Gnus with
nntp+lysator:comp.compilers killed, changed nntp-record-commands to t
and set gnus-verbose to 10. Then I subscribed to group and did C-u 1 0
0 RET to get the last 100 articles. Nothing seemed to happen.

This is some of the  *Messages* buffer:
