Well.  Hm.  Please have a look on disk, without Gnus.  Also look in
the .overview file in the directory for that group -- does it have
entries in the 50,000 range?

Also, please have a look at the active file (~/Mail/active, perhaps)
to see what that says for the group in question.

And then, if the 50,000 numbers don't appear anywhere else, you might
wish to `G E' on the group and remove them, to see if that helps.

I don't fully grok Gnus, I just know enough to be suspicious when I
find strange numbers that don't correspond to the messages that
actually exist.  Suspicious of dragons, in fact.
