Is anyone using the maildir support in Pterodactyl Gnus?  I can't get
it to work right in v0.98.  After creating my ~/Maildir/, I specified
my mail-source in .gnus.

;; Get mail from a qmail maildir
 (setq mail-sources
      '((maildir)))

When I try and incorporate new mail with `g', I get the following
error message:

Mail source error ((error IO reading /users/jason/.emacs-mail-crash-box: Input/output error)). Continue? (yes or no)

I answer "no", and receive "Cannot get new mail".  Looking at
.emacs-mail-crash-box, the message appears to be stuck there.
However, if I then hit `g' a second time, the mail is properly
incorporated without any errors and the crash-box is cleared.  This
happens every time.  For the time being, I've switched back to pop3
which works fine, but I'd like really like to use maildir.  Any ideas?
