Hi all,

since about two weeks or so, I frequently get this message when hitting
`g' in *Group*.  Uni is my universities nntp server.

  Warning: Refusing to do retrieval from Uni because a retrieval is already happening
  Cannot read partial active file from nntp server.

When I close and reopen the server the message disappeares for some
time.  How can I debug what's wrong?

It might be related to the fact that sometimes Gnus freezes while
fetching news during "nnimap read XXk" and I have to interrupt using
C-g, althougt that always happens with nnimap...

Bye,
Tassilo

I also get similar symptoms. I will try to get a proper backtrace next time.

Indeed, it seems to be caused by interrupting a frozen
`gnus-group-get-new-news' call using C-g.  I've tried to get a backtrace
using `toggle-debug-on-error', but that doesn't put me in the debugger.

Bye,
Tassilo

I use this:

(defadvice gnus-group-get-new-news (around gnus-timeout activate)
  "Timeout for Gnus."
  (with-timeout
      (5 (message "Gnus timed out.") (debug))
    ad-do-it))

This should hopefully be fixed by today's patches.

It seems so.  I haven't had these errors for two days or so.  That's
enough evidence for me.
