Arcady, Pls check the contents of the .overview file for the group that is getting this error. It should be located at News/agent/nnimap/MAIL_SERVER_NAME/MAIL_BOX_NAME/.overview. Does the line, "Free CDs ..." appear in this file EXACTLY as shown below? If it does, run (gnus-agent-regenerate-group "GROUP_NAME") to repair the .overview. This should fix your problem for now. I'll check in new code tomorrow to improve the error checking. What we're seeing right now is a symptom. It may take some time to find the cause.
