Never, never, NEVER let any program write to the files that Gnus is
using. That is, in the default configuration Gnus uses
~/Mail/mail/misc (or ~/Mail/mail.misc) for the default mail group,
and if you tell procmail to also write this file, then you'll quickly
get into trouble.
I don't know if this is your problem -- you weren't giving enough
information to determine this.
