Ok, the problematic form in `nntp-request-post' is

  (nntp-send-buffer "^[23].*\n")

and `nntp-server-buffer' is " *nntpd*" which contains this line

  340 Ok, recommended ID <lf97sn$bi$2@cache.uni-koblenz.de>

And in `nntp-send-buffer' it hangs at the form

  (nntp-retrieve-data
   nil nntp-address nntp-port-number nntp-server-buffer
   wait-for nnheader-callback-function)

which seems to be waiting for some response from the server that doesn't
arrive.
