Yup.  Commands like `Y c' (and `^') rebuild threads, which means that
they have to do all kinds of things to work properly.  I'm sure they
do too much -- that part of the code is a wilderness I've yet to
tame. 

Perhaps `Y c' should just do a complete regeneration of the summary
buffer once if there's more than a couple of articles to be
inserted...  Either that, or we'll have to rewrite the general summary
buffer thread regeneration code.  Which might be a good idea.
