Gnus looks if .newsrc-FOO exists before it looks for .newsrc.  If it
finds .newsrc-FOO, it uses this and .newsrc-FOO.eld (which will be
created if necessary).  Only if .newsrc-FOO cannot be found, then Gnus
will use .newsrc (and .newsrc.eld).

Suppose you have the following three files:

    .newsrc
    .newsrc.eld
    .newsrc-x

Then, Gnus will use .newsrc-x and .newsrc-x.eld (which will be
created)!

Clear?
