I don't think anything in gnus.el, where the group parameters are,
depends on the spam.el code.

It looks like the parameters code was trying to evaluate the value of
nil as a function, in some way related to the :args parameter to
gnus-define-group-parameter.  But I don't use the :args parameter so
I'm not sure why that's happening.

Can you try removing the two spam-related gnus-define-group-parameter
invocations and the related code in gnus.el (lines 1747-1874, from my
comment about adding spam parameters to
gnus-group-uncollapsed-levels)?

Also, do you get this error on a new group?  Is there anything in the
group parameters (`G p')?

Thanks
