I'm not sure it is any of these, but it could be. It happens to me on
_many_ feeds.

What I did was to change my reading habit in these groups a bit.
Instead of just letting the article be marked as read I kill the
article. In my SCORE file I have it set to drop the score whenever I
kill the article and have mark-and-expunge set to -1.
There might be a better or cleaner way to do this but it works.
