Tested it:

emacs -q -no-site-file # doesn't have gnus loaded

emacs -q -no-site-file # with (debian-startup 'emacs21) evaluated
                       # doesn't have gnus loaded

emacs -q -no-site-file # with (debian-startup 'emacs) evaluated
                       # doesn't have gnus loaded, either!

emacs -q               # has gnus loaded.

This is very strange, and I have no idea where this sucker could be
loaded. My only choice is removing the gnus directory in my emacs lisp
installation and trying to find out where the backtrace appears. (-:

I know. And that's what is confusing me.. somewhere along that path,
gnus gets loaded, but I have no idea where.

Thanks for your help,
