Duplicate newsgroups


From: Haider Rizvi
Subject: Duplicate newsgroups

User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) XEmacs/21.4 (Rational FORTRAN, cygwin32)

I fetch news articles with a separate emacs run by cron every
hour. Sometimes I get a conflict in .newsrc-dribble file opened by the
off-line emacs as well as me reading interactively. I have observed that
after that some of my groups show up as duplicate as below (not
necessarily saying it is cause-and-effect, just something I have
noticed).

       0: forums.software.aix.tips
       0: forums.software.aix.tips
       0: forums.software.aix.tools
       0: forums.software.aix.tools

These entries look like the following in .newsrc.eld file: 

 ("forums.software.aix.tips" 3 nil) ("forums.software.aix.tips" 3 ((1
. 413)) ((seen (412 . 413)))) ("forums.software.aix.tools" 3 nil)
("forums.software.aix.tools" 3 ((1 . 429))) 

I have the following three places where I save dribble file. 

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-exit-hook 'gnus-dribble-save)
(add-hook 'gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook 'gnus-dribble-save)
(add-hook 'gnus-group-catchup-group-hook 'gnus-dribble-save)

Running 'No Gnus v0.2' on "21.4 (patch 13) \"Rational FORTRAN\"
XEmacs Lucid" under cygwin / Windows XP.
