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.)
