Hello,

The bug remains.

1)

XOVER is called for the first group I enter. As it gets back "."
XOVERVIEW is tried which is invalid. After that HEAD is used in every
group and no attempt to call XOVER is made again.

2)

The article numbers sent by the server upon entry to the group are
ignored by Gnus in favour of old values from the .eld file. If I
haven't read news in a group for a while this guarantees that XOVER
will fail.

3)

Below is the last header received followed by the header which was not
received. Note that Gnus called HEAD for more than 200 articles
following the headers below. However it didn't call head for all
articles in the group.

4)

These have been cut and pasted.
