I have narrowed this problem down to ECB.  Deactivating it
restores the Gnus I love.

However, I like to leave ECB on all the time; it's easier
that way when switching back and forth between mail and
JDE.

I had been noticing ``Sorry, that file not recognized'' or
something like that in the minibuffer occasionally.  I
decided to toggle debug-on-error and got this when doing a
C-c C-d:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
     file-name-directory(nil)
     ecb-select-source-file(nil)
     ecb-update-methods-after-saving()
     run-hooks(after-save-hook)
     basic-save-buffer()
     save-buffer()
     message-dont-send()
     call-interactively(message-dont-send)

Perhaps Gnus needs to use its own after-save-hook
mechanism?  Or is ECB really to blame here?
