I'm not really sure why no one else has complained about this...
Every time I quiet gnus (starting with version 0.16 or so) I get errors
like:

wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (4 . 1)

and it dies in gnus-gnus-to-newsrc-format.  Specifically, most groups
have gnus-newsrc-alist entries that look something like:

("alt.sources" 4 ((1 . 5667)) nil nil nil)

But a few of mine have entries like:

("gnu.emacs.sources" (4 . 1) ((1 . 3657))

Which is where the problem lies.  Its the (4 . 1) list entry that is
killing it.  I'm not sure what the second number in that list is, but
I'm assuming the first is the level (the desired feed to the ">"
statement).  So, I hacked a fix, which works:  (Though not being a
elisp or gnus expert, I'm sure there is probably another reason for my
problem in the first place...)

As an aside, why do topics take so long to fold/unfold?  I'm talking
like 5 seconds or so to do either operation?
