gnus-single-article-buffer broken

[Colin Rafferty]

Howdy-

I have just upgraded from 0.32 to 0.38.  I am having been seeing the
same problem in both.

(setq gnus-single-article-buffer nil) does not seem to be fully
implemented.  While there are multiple article buffers with names like
"*Article nnml:list.ding", there is only one " *Original Article*"
buffer, where they should be named " *Original Article nnml:list.ding*".

This wreaks havok with many facets of Gnus.  There are, in fact, two
classes of errors that come out of this:

1. Handling an article seldoms works.  gnus-summary-enter-digest-group
   and caching articles (setq gnus-use-cache t) never work correctly.

2. Reading two groups at once is practically impossible.  Since both are
   trying to use the same original article buffer, and each assumes that
   it has exclusive control over it, horrible things happen.

Although I know that this is not the greatest bug report, it is very
easy to reproduce at home.  Just add the following line to the end of
your .gnus file, and try to read two groups at once:

(setq gnus-single-article-buffer nil)

By the way, I love Gnus.
