Plugged and unplugged active files out of synch?

Plugged and unplugged active files out of synch?

[Paul Stodghill]

Recipe for annoyance:
1. Start Gnus plugged.
2. read some articles
3. In the group buffer, 'g', 'J s'. Here is what I see.

4. Unplug Gnus, 'J j'
5. Press 'g'. Here is what I see.

The plugged and unplugged states have very different notions of which
articles have been read. Stuff is badly out of synch. Am I doing something
wrong, or is this a bug?

This is with Pgnus v0.95 + Shenghuo ZHU's patch from message
<2nu2r9yvuh.fsf@tiger.jia.vnet>.

Thanks!

Sounds like a bug, but I'm unable to reproduce it.
