Starting gnus via the following defuun will trigger the problem:

(defun jnc-gnus ()
  (interactive)
  (select-frame
   (or (car
	(filtered-frame-list
	 (lambda (x)
	   (string= "--Mail--"
		    (cdr (assoc 'name (frame-parameters x)))))))
       (make-frame '((name . "--Mail--")))))
  (other-frame 0)
  (if (string-match "^slowfox\\>" (system-name))
      (progn (require 'gnus-agent) (gnus-unplugged))
    (gnus)))

Alternatively, simply create a new frame via 'C-x 5 b' and then start gnus in
that new frame.

With 21.4.3 under Solaris 7 I will consistently hang with the symptom that
has now been corrected via your patch.  However, password handling will not
work.  If I start gnus in the intial frame, password handling will work fine
and the original problem (using latest ognus with your patches) works fine
too.  And this is true even of I move gnus into its own frame after it is up
and running.
