Hm.  Hmmmm....  Ah!

I suggest that you make a copy of `find ~/News -print', then start
the new Gnus and mark one article as persistent, then do the same
`find' command again and compare the two outputs.

I'm guessing that the two Gnusae write to different directories.
Perhaps the *-long-file-names variables are different in the two
Gnusae?  Or nnheader-file-name-translation-alist is different?

Precisely, Sherlock.  Wow good sleuthing!

The previous version (5.8.7) used:

/home/schapal/News/cache/comp/lang/perl/moderated
/home/schapal/News/cache/comp/lang/perl/moderated/6035
/home/schapal/News/cache/comp/lang/perl/moderated/6036

Well, these variables don't seem to be used in either version?

I've found nnmail-long-file-names in 5.8.7 and 5.8.8, but that doesnt
seem to apply...

nnheader-file-name-translation-alist isn't set in 5.8.7 or 5.8.8 and
doesn't seem to occur in 5.9.0. ?
