Hm, that's a bit worrisome.  Deleting article-cache has nothing at all to
do with read/unread.  That's recorded in your .pan2/newsrc-<N> file, where
N is the number of the particular newsserver in question.

I hate to be a party-poop, but whenever I see that kind of inexplicable
strangeness, I begin to wonder about file-system corruption.  Have you
tried an fsck on the partition in question lately?
