I'm trying to track that down, but still making my way around the new
code. It looks like Pan's corrupting its article counters somewhere.
Before I start Pan, I see:
$ cd ~/.pan2
$ grep easynet.test *
newsgroups.dsc:easynet.test:Test group for customers of Easynet PLC UK.
newsgroups.xov:easynet.test 44 23 1:1641
newsrc-1:easynet.test: 0-1641
Now, I start Pan, go to that group (easynet.test) and exit Pan. After
that, I see:
$ grep easynet.test *
newsgroups.dsc:easynet.test:Test group for customers of Easynet PLC UK.
newsgroups.xov:easynet.test 22 0 1:1641
newsrc-1:easynet.test: 0-4294967295
Now the newsrc string is 0-4294967295. Now, that big number looks
suspiciously like (unsigned int) -1, doesn't it. :-)
It can also affect newsgroups.xov:
$ grep 4294967295 newsgroups.xov
newsgroups.xov:dsm.network 0 4294967295
newsgroups.xov:easynet.adverts 0 4294967295
newsgroups.xov:easynet.fr.adsl 0 4294967295
newsgroups.xov:easynet.fr.support 0 4294967295
(etc.)
That bug would also explain two other things I've seen:
a) get new headers stops working (is based on newsrc, I guess)
b) getting all headers will show new headers is read

Like Abe Simpson said: a little from column A, a little from column B. :)
