Okay, so try:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (locate-library "nndiary")
3. Wherever that file is, delete the nndiary.elc file next to it
4. Visit the nndiary.el file itself.
5. At the top of the file, insert the line (error "Don't load me")
6. Save the file, exit emacs.
7. emacs -Q
8. C-h v gnus-extra-headers
9. Post resulting traceback
