Hi,

I am using Gnus and T-gnus (based on latest Gnus).

I was troubled with the same problem.  I am not sure if a record
like (seen NUM1 . NUM2) was generated by only T-gnus or both
Gnus and T-gnus.  However, the fact is that such records will
not be fixed even if I use the original Gnus to load and save
.newsrc.eld file, and I still could not read newsgroups if there
are such corrupted records.  So, I have tried to fix this as
follows:

2002-01-15  Katsumi Yamaoka  <yamaoka@jpl.org>

	* gnus-sum.el (gnus-adjust-marked-articles): Fix the record for
	`seen' if it looks like (seen NUM1 . NUM2).  It should be
	(seen (NUM1 . NUM2)).

It has been done only in T-gnus.  The attached patch is for
Gnus.  As mentioned above, I am not sure if it is really needed
for Gnus too, sorry.
