Gnus-5.8.7 new groups status "*", can't enter; "Incoming*" files

[Chris Shenton <cshenton@uucom.com>]

Two problems I've noticed with 5.8.7 since a CVS pull of the
pre-release, or maybe with 5.8.6. Seen on both FreeBSD and Solaris.

1. New nnml groups are displayed with status "*" and I can't enter
   them.

   I use procmail to file incoming mail into groups, then gnus picks
   them up. It (usually) shows the new group and I create a new
   procmail recipe and get mail in a new file/folder. But with status
   "*" when I try to enter the group it says something to the effect
   of "no such group". A look at the gnus store, which I keep under
   ~/Mail/newgroupname/", show the mail files getting populated
   properly.

   I can get into the group eventually by `K'illing the group, then
   `j'umping to the group name that I type in (e.g., nnml:list.gnus)
   which causes it to show as status "K"illed. I can `U'nkill the
   group and finally enter.  Ick.

   Is it a bug or do I need to set something to create the new groups
   as "S"ubscribed or something?


        
2. Leaves tmp files like ~/Mail/Incoming#####xyz

   Gnus since 5.8.6 or 5.8.7 CVS and now Release have been leaving
   what appears to be temporary files in the mail store area, which I
   have as ~/Mail/. The files are named "Incoming" + some number,
   (pid?) plus a few extra chars.

   These don't seem harmful, but become numerous quite quickly with a
   large amount of mail coming in. Seems like vestigial debugging
   code. It's seems to be happening in:

   nnmail.el:1633:     (concat (file-name-as-directory temp) "Incoming")))
   nnmail.el:1634: (concat (file-name-as-directory temp) "Incoming")))))
