Set summary line format to display line number. Something like this,

(setq gnus-summary-line-format
      "%4P %U%R%z %-16&user-date; %(%[%4L:%*%-23,23f%]%) %B%s\n"

This will display line number in the first column.

Start Gnus and enter any group with few emails in it (better if there
are threads in it).

Invoke T-T (gnus-summary-toggle-threads) or any of the limiting
functions like /-/ (gnus-summary-limit-to-subject). These calls invoke
gnus-summary-prepare function.

And every time gnus-summary-prepare is invoked it starts increamenting
line-number from the previous max.

The result is that, on each refresh the line number keep on
increasing. And showing incorrect values.

I have moved these two lines from gnus-summary-read-group-1 to
gnus-summary-prepare function.

    (when (boundp 'gnus-pick-line-number)
      (setq gnus-pick-line-number 0))

This fixes the issue. Unless there are side-effects that I am unaware
of.
