I can't reproduce thin on GNU/Linux. AFAICS, there's nothing wrong in
Gnus. I guess you can reproduce the problem without Gnus:
emacs -Q -l /path/to/idna.el
In *scratch*, eval:
(idna-to-ascii "räksmörgås")
If idna-to-ascii-response inf-loops, it's a bug in idna.el, the idn
program or Emacs' process handling on FreeBSD.
CC-ing Simon Josefsson, the author of idna.el and libidn.
