The backtrace says that the active data for the sas-l group is
nil, it means the group has not been activated. It will probably
be because the group level for the sas-l group is 3, although you
use `gnus-no-server':
,---- (info "(gnus)The Server is Down") ----
| it will just activate all groups on level
| 1 and 2. (You should preferably keep no native groups on those two
| levels.) Also *note (info "(gnus)Group Levels").
`----
Furthermore, it will also be one of the causes that the topic
mode shows even the groups that have not been activated (bug?).
Maybe the solution is:
,---- (info "(gnus)Group Levels") ----
| `S l'
| Set the level of the current group. If a numeric prefix is given,
| the next N groups will have their levels set. The user will be
| prompted for a level.
`----
Otherwise you can use `M-3 M-x gnus' (`M-3' means `Meta 3', which
can be replaced with `C-u 3' or `ESC 3').
BTW, `M-2 M-x gnus' is similar to `M-x gnus-no-server', but the
former doesn't modify the value of the variable
`gnus-group-use-permanent-levels' while the later does. I like
the former.
