I reported this problem a while ago to gnus-bug. (The next time I
report bugs I'll copy to this list.)
The problem is gnus-zombie-list. More specifically the problem is
that if you have gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method set to
gnus-subscribe-zombies, gnus will put the same groups in
gnus-zombie-list over and over again. It happens only when you start
gnus for the first time in a given emacs session - so if you never
quit emacs it's not a problem.
I'm using XEmacs-19.13 and sgnus-0.57, is it the same in other emacsen
and sgnusii? (Or whatever the proper plural forms are.)
Work-around: Do ESC ESC (setq gnus-zombie-list nil) before you quit
gnus.
