Many thanks for posting a reply.

It seems that the URLDIR was being set to ...emacs/23.2...  -- as you
noted -- because I apparently (!) have neglected to run ./configure in
the gnus directory (for a *very* long while...) following my "git
pull"s.

Anyhow, the issue I wrote about isn't completely gone, but I think (?)
it is perhaps not so interesting for this list. (When a certain piece of
hardware -- a USB hub -- is attached, various things
"break". e.g. "Suspend"ing the laptop doesn't work correctly. And oddly
enough, running gnus freezes emacs -- even emacs23 -- if (and only if)
the USB hub is connected.  I guess it has nothing real to do with gnus,
but I haven't managed to work out what it *does* have to do
with. Anyhow, it was easy enough to unplug the hub...so the problem
doesn't seem too urgent.)

best,
gm
