Recent cvs, including 5 minutes ago cause an error in my, long in
existence, batch send/fetch scripts.

The output from script in debug mode indicates gnus is trying to
create a directory and file and .marks it should not be:

106: emacs -batch -l /home/reader/.emacs-dir/batch-fetch.el -f lars-fetch-news
106: 2>&1

    WHERE does this come from?

========================================

My split hasn't been changed recently. It includes some archive code
like this:

[...] Begin split code
(setq nnmail-split-methods 
  '(("tests" "^Subject:.*test.*labridge") 

[...] tail of split code
    ("wgdev" "^Sender:.owner-wgdev@webglimpse") 
    ("Edited"  "^Subject: \\[ed\\]\\|^Subject:  \\[ed\\]") 
      ("misc" ""))) 

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((let ((current-archive-date-string
	       (format-time-string "%m%y" (current-time))))
	  (concat (if (message-news-p)
		      "news-"
		    "mail-")
		  current-archive-date-string))))

========================================

These files appeared in ~/Mail recently:
-rw-r--r--    1 reader   reader       3314 Aug 27 01:02 mail-0801
-rw-------    1 reader   reader        315 Aug 27 01:02 mail-0801.nov


Having removed the abover files, gnus has created a spanking new
directory that it shouldn't and populated it with a .marks file.

Now every time I take a breath, I get bootstrapped... What's up with
rampant bootstrapping?
