    For me Gnus has always dies because rfc2047-decode-region receives
    argement "nil" (with quotes). I have no idea why and at least this
    keeps it happy.

        * rfc2047.el (rfc2047-decode-region):
        For some reason the parameter passed to this function was
        string 'nil'. Keep it plain nil.
        (if (equal mail-parse-charset "nil") (setq mail-parse-charset nil))

Some of your settings must be wrong. It could be in the parameters of
some groups, or gnus-group-charset-alist.

If mail-parse-charset is "nil", some settings must be wrong.

This patch is clearly wrong.  If you wish to fix things, you should
check why "nil" gets passed to rfc2047-decode-region.
