gnus-summary-catchup turns ticked into unread

[Luc Van Eycken]

Hi,

If I have a newsgroup with ticked persistent articles and I leave this
group with the "c" key (gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit), all ticked articles
are turned into unread non-ticked articles. It is a regression from Emacs 21,
but I also believe this is a bug since it seems to contradict the info
documentation.

As far as I can see, it is due to the addition of gnus-newsgroup-unfetched
inside the function gnus-summary-catchup (gnus-sum.el line 10517).
Since this is a Gnus 5.11 addition, I assume that removing it again is not
the correct solution.

Best regards,

Luc Van Eycken
