I checked the ChangeLog for likely candidates to the change that broke
Gnus, used CVS to find the exact change, added the code so the
semantics were restored (the change in semantics didn't seem
intentional, and the old semantics made perfectly sense), checked that
it worked, saw that Simon Josefsson had came up with the exact same
solution, and that you had some completely different untested changes
in files unrelated to the place in the code that was changed.

Given this, commiting my (and Simons) changes seemed like the safest
course af action.
