With that environemnt, previously, (string-make-multibyte
"\200") returns "\200", but in the CVS HEAD version, it
returns returns "─" (U+2500).  I think this change causes
the current problem.

From the above code, I suspect that GNUS uses the character
?\200 for some kind of mark in a buffer, correct?  If so,
could you change:
    (search-forward "\200" nil t)
to
    (search-forward (string-to-multibyte "\200") nil t)
and try again?
