  Sorry, my statement is not clearly.  At first, I doubted that this
  problem relates to the comment, but after I compared the newest
  'gnus-sum.el' with the 'gnus-sum.el' in the 9/21/2004 Emacs trunk
  I realized that the bug is caused by some changes made on
  'gnus-update-summary-mark-positions'.  

  I made an experiment again. Just eval (C-x C-e)
  'gnus-update-summary-mark-positions' function in the old version
  instead of loading entire 'gnus-sum.el'.  It works fine. :-)

  Because there is no version number in the file. I give you a
  portion of diff output:

    Maybe the "mm-string-as-multibyte" caused this problem?

  Thank you for your responsibility.  That is not mark. I use some
  unicode chars to beautify the thread display. See

  Ok, the output is as follows:
  
        gnus-no-mark's value is 32

        *Mark used for articles that have no other secondary mark.

        You can customize this variable.

        Defined in `gnus-sum'.

  If it can't be fixed in a moment, I will report to emacs-devel.
