Preface: I hope this might be usefull, but I'm not conversant enough with cvs to get or know if its even available. There was a time during `quassia' gnus when messages that had been expunged off the server would remain under News/agent but the agent wouldn't know about it. One might have hundreds of such articles. The problem was posted and discussed for some time. Several versions I think. But at some point, maybe near the end of quassia gnus. Lars (and others) fixed that. I'm pretty sure the code involved checking the server active list against what was actually in the directories. Then recompiling the active list or something similar. Maybe that situation was enough similar to have some tips for this one. My best guess it that it happened after quassia 21 or so.
