Can you reproduce it? You aren't switching between 5.9 and 5.11, are you? Going back to 5.9 after using 5.11 will result in lost messages flags, and possibly other problems. Downgrading isn't safe, see GNUS-NEWS: ** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort. If you have tried Oort (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading to this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove all .marks (nnml) and .mrk (nnfolder) files, so that flags are read from your ~/.newsrc.eld instead of from the .marks/.mrk file where this release store flags. See a later entry for more information about marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe in general. > One of my newsgroups (comp.lang.python) gets into an endless loop: > > Retrieving newsgroup: comp.lang.python... > Fetching headers for comp.lang.python... > NNTP: Receiving headers...done > Created backup copy of overview in /Users/piet/News/agent/nntp/localhost/comp/lang/python/.overview~1~. Why is that? Disk full? Path doesn't exist? Try removing the entire directory, /Users/piet/News/agent/nntp/localhost/comp/lang/python/.
