As 5.11 equals 5.10.8 plus some bug fixes, I'm surprised about the different behavior. And for `nnfolder.el' there is no code change since the 5.10.8 (2006-04-11) at all, only a copyright update (cf. cvs diff -r v5-10-8 -r 6.49.2.12 nnfolder.el). Also the other changes after 2006-04-11 don't seem to be related. Unless someone offers a better suggestion you could (as you seem to be able to reproduce the problem) to try to identify the responsible file as follows: (1) See which files differ from 5.10.8 to 5.11: export g511=/path/to/emacs/lisp/gnus export g5108=/path/to/gnus-5.10.8/lisp cd "$g511" for i in *.el; do diff "$i" "$g5108/$i" > /dev/null || echo $i; done (2) Start an Emacs with 5.11, don't start Gnus. For the first file in the list from (1), load the 5.10.8 variant of the *.elc file explicitely: M-x load-file RET $g5108/FOO.elc RET Copy the folder/marks files. Start Gnus. See if the problem disappears. (3) Repeat (2) with the next file until you found the responsible file. (4) Compare the files and try to find out the offending change. Report back.
