In my experience (though this could be a misinterpretation), sometimes
when Gnus thinks an nntp server is already open it will continue to
treat it as open, even if the server has actually stopped responding.
So you get the timeouts as Gnus tries to talk to a dead server. Better
to explicitly close and re-open.
