I've been using 72.3 for a while now and have not noticed any thing  
unusual except my list view doen't show a couple groups I have in my  
browser view (?). If the problem _is_ related to number of unread  
articles, though, I would be a bad sample since I subscribe to a fairly  
small number of groups and read them on a daily basis.
