That looks like something hosed down your overviews.  Run M-x
nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 on the group in question.

You didn't say if regenerating the nov files did any good.

Like this: M-x generate-nov-data-bases-1 <RET> /path/to/mail.misc-2002

If you don't have long filenames enabled that will be
~/Mail/mail/misc-2002

Other wise:
~/Mail/mail.misc-2002

If it asks you to create a group.  Something is wrong.  Find that
group on your file system and give its full name at the prompt.

You could also delete or rename .overview in that group first.

Looking at your output somemore.. I don't ever see output like that:
Fetching headers for nnml+private:mail.misc-2002...

I never see anything about fetching headers on nnml groups in
*Messages* on startup or any other time.  Only on agentized newsgoups.

You didn't some how get that nnml server under the agent did you?
Depending on your version, you might be able to tell by looking in
server buffer (^) and see if you see (agent) next to it.

It wants to know where you want it to run.  The group in your output
was: nnml+private:mail.misc-2002

No nnml groups should be using  ~/News/cache/nnml...  I think
something is wrong there.  In fact nnml should probably be excluded
from being cacheable since it is already on disk.  With something like
(setq gnus-uncacheable-groups "^nnml")

But before changing any settings, I think you may need to remove
anything under ~/News/cache/nnml including the nnml.  And check any
active file you find there.  Possibly removing any nnml groups listed
in it. But before doing so please investigate what is there and make a
copy.

Another step might be to save .gnus to .gnus_orig and strip all
comments out of the one you are actually using until you get this
resolved.

I got lost after the first 100 lines or so.  But then I'm not lisp
literate either.

For what its worth, I compiled the most recent cvs a few hours ago and
don't see this problem.
