0.17 bug

Every other time (i.e. every j-th time with j congruent to 1 modulo 2)
I get this when entering a group:

Also, summary lines aren't changed when an article is read.  But the
article is still marked as read, or marked as expirable after `E' and
so on, as can be shown by exiting the group then reentering it.

Yeah, I get this too...

Also, I sent this to just Kai, but got his vacation program :-) :

I can't get PGnus 0.17 to work with emacs 20.3 for th reasons described in the
other thread (encoding problems entering groups) under linux (although Solaris
isn't a problem). I joined the list too late in the game to understand any of
the stuff being discussed in that thread -- could someone please summarize and
explain to me how to get it working again?

Thanks, and I apologize for my ignorance. :-)

"Install Emacs 20.3" is the very summarized explanation.  :-)

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.18.
