Using CVS oort from couple of days ago w/ emacs 21.1. I use level 2 for nnml groups, level 3 for "close" nntp groups, and level 4 for "far" nntp groups. Thus, to check just my mail spool, I do "2 g" in the group buffer. This works most of the time. However, sometimes a "2 g" results in what looks like would happen if I hit "20 g" -- all of the configured nntp servers get queried, and zombie/killed groups are suddenly listed as well. I can do a subsequent "2 l" to restrict the listing, but it is a major PITA to have to wait for many faraway nntp servers to respond (the reason why I'm using levels in the first place). If I C-g in the middle of the querying of the nntp's (actually, I need to hit C-g many times before it stops), some of the nntp connections will get marked "(denied)" in the Servers buffer and have to be manually re-O'd to be useful after that (in the current gnus session). Anyone seeing any similar symptoms? Any idea what's up with this? The only levels-related stuff in my .gnus is: (custom-set-variables '(gnus-activate-level 2) '(gnus-level-default-subscribed 3)) and most of the time levels DO work correctly, so I don't think it's a config error...
