I have a single mailing list which had over 16000 messages in it. When
I exited the group I couldn't exit, getting a 14k error message. The
first two line of it are as follows:
Signaling: (file-error "Adding new name" "Too many links" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/:" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/1073931271_0.18828.tp600x,U=17123,FMD5=691287df477cdb411b6f056cb0287f3a")
add-name-to-file("/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/:" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/1073931271_0.18828.tp600x,U=17123,FMD5=691287df477cdb411b6f056cb0287f3a")
I moved a bunch of messages to a folder called mail.lists.evals.2001,
which cut down the number of messages in my main list considerably.
However, I still cannot exit the group. I get the same error.
What should I do? For now I am simply not reading that list with gnus.

The actual limit is NLINK_MAX, which varies from system to system.

I know how to fix this; hopefully I'll get to it soon. For now, you
can work around it like this:
$ cd /home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read
$ touch :-new
$ mv -f :-new :

This worked. Thank you. Are you saying that the fix needs to be made
in the nnmaildir backend?

That's what I'm going to do, when I find a spare few minutes.

This should now be fixed in CVS, and setting marks should be a bit
faster too.

I should add that the new code depends on the text of strings that
show up in errors signaled by add-name-to-file. It works for me on
GNU Emacs, but I wonder if XEmacs's strings may be different.
