I had this a lot until I upgraded to emacs 25.1 and haven't seen it so
far since then.

I do have a small keepalive function but that only runs when I'm at one
of the public libraries here in Honolulu, all of which enforce very
short timeouts.

I am using Ma Gnus 0.14 (because I can't figure out where to get 0.16;
it's very unclear just what branch is present in the emacs git repo on
savannah).

I'm also not clear if this is the right mailing list for this, but since
posting to usenet pretty much ended, a lot of things are unclear :)
Apologies if I'm replying in the wrong place; do let me know.
