No luck :( If at least I could debug this, but no luck ATM. I added some
debug to the culprit code and got this:

> (with-current-buffer nntp-server-buffer
>    (message "DEBUG: going to gnus-read-active-file-1 %s" method)
>    (gnus-read-active-file-1 method nil))))

,----
| nnimap babel splitting mail...
| DEBUG: going to gnus-read-active-file-1 (nnimap babel (nnimap-address babel.ls.fi.upm.es) (nnimap-stream ssl))
| Reading active file from babel via nnimap...
| nnimap babel splitting mail...
| Reading active file from babel via nnimap...done
| nnimap read 25k [224 times]
`----

Note it seems to do two times the same thing. Of course if I disable the
code the hang seems to stop. How could I check that the are no duplicate
methods?

Note the confusion about methods gnus has because of archive methods,
that could have something to do with this problem. Maybe we should fix
the confusion first and then see what happens.

(setq gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)
(setq gnus-read-newsrc-file nil)
(setq gnus-save-killed-list t)
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
(setq gnus-use-dribble-file nil)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org"
                                (nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "babel"
                (nnimap-address "babel.ls.fi.upm.es")
                (nnimap-stream ssl))))

(setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnimap "babel"))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "nnimap+babel:archive.mail")
