Well, first, it was really a pretty stupid thing to do. I shouldn't
have done it, and if I'd given it slightly more thought, I wouldn't
have. But it was impressive to see the VM reports from ps(1).
Anyhow, a workaround that doesn't involve hacking Gnus is
mkdir ~/News/nntp+localhost
cd ~/News/nntp+localhost
ln -s ../* .
rm nn* # to get rid of nntp self-references &c.
which seems to give me exactly what I want, unless I manage to start
reading a hierarchy not supported in common among the others, in which
case I'll have to generalize the special case such a situation creates.
(By moving the new hierarchy up to ~/News, and adding another symlink.)
