I haven't had any problems so far.  Now, since I've gotten into the
habit of not leaving *Summary* buffers hanging around, I can leave one
Gnus running and safely run a second one in a second Emacs (on the
same machine, using the same account, .emacs, etc.).  The first one
will have saved my newsrc, so the second one will see something
consistent and up-to-date when it starts, and when I get back to the
first one, I immediately quit and restart Gnus to pick up the changes
made by the second one.  Quitting won't clobber those changes because
the first Gnus thinks newsrc is already saved.
