I guess I've located the bug. The ChangeLog and patch follow and have
been committed to CVS.

The response code 420 is a bit weird. In nntp-send-xover-command, Gnus
try to find out the XOVER command when nntp-server-xover is try. The
response code 420 cause Gnus disable XOVER, while here XOVER is right
command.
