Hi!
I have two nntp secondary servers in my gnus-secondary-select-methods.
The groups from these servers are usually *not* updated when I type 'g' or
even 'C-u t g' (hard reread of active files). I don't have an exact recipe for
this, unfortunately. However, when these groups are not updated, doing a 'M-g'
(update this group only) *always* updates the group correctly.
After some investigation, it appears that the active information used
when calling gnus-get-unread-article-in-group is different when using 'g' or
'M-g'. In the first case, the active info appears not to be up-to-date.
I don't have enough understanding of this code to investigate further,
given the time I have. I'd be grateful if anybody has an idea.
Thanks.

I've noticed this behavior with some of my nnimap groups - but only
after my ISP changed their mail server version. Simon J. and I have
exchanged some log files to help analyze the problem. I assumed it was
an IMAP-related problem. Simon, do you think Didier's description is
related to mine?

Yup. The IMAP log files looked fine as far as I remember, so it's
likely to be a Gnus problem (suggesting it's the same problem as
Didier's). I also remember seeing something similar with the function
Didier mentioned, but that code is too hairy for me.
