Starting unplugged erases readedness

Starting unplugged erases readedness

[Harry Putnam]

As reported here on gnus-5.6.9 same problem on 5.6.10
Message-ID: <m33educrsw.fsf@newsguy.com> 

Bringing gnus up unplugged can erase all readedness marks and
re-estabish all groups with no read articles.

This sequence does it here - and is thoroughly repeatable.

Download news, import into agent 'J s'.  Read news in a few groups,
leaving many unread in others.  Close agent with 'q' from group buffer.

Later bring up gnus 'unplugged'  'M-x gnus-unplugged'  All groups show
up with Zero unread articles. 

Go on-line 'J j' 'g', when new news is retrieved all groups change to all
unread   -- every group now shows no 'read' articles - any record of
read and unread is history.   What a drag.  But none of this happens
long as I bring Gnus up 'plugged'.

Still seems like a problem with the Agent active file.  Does it look
ok?  Is it updated when you `g'?
