The first 20.2 (not the 20.3 pre release you are running)

What version of emacs are you using?  I'm using a beta 20.2.93.1 (Nt
Emacs) and see the same kind of "hang and C-g doesn't break out of it"
thing when sending mail via smtp.  Both are doing similar network
stuff.  I wonder if the two problems are related.

I tried to do that, but C-g doesn't interrupt whatever's hanging. 
Killing emacs is the only way to proceed.

CTL-g wasn't able to break out of it when I tried it.  Emacs is taking
no CPU, but isn't responding either...

(setq debug-on-quit 't)

Then try to enter such a group.  When it hangs, press C-g.

Mail the backtrace either to this list or to Lars at gnus-bug.

I've reported it to Lars on 5.6.{6.7.8.9), I'm back on 5.6.5 (the last
working version for me)

Are you using NT Emacs by chance?

Hello world,

When I try Gnus 5.6.{7,8,9}, it consistently hangs on nnml
folders.  It never finishes building the summary.

I'm guessing it must just be me (and I haven't had time to try
to debug it, I've just been sticking with 5.6.4, the last
version I d/l before 5.6.7) since surely others would have
noticed.

But I'm sending this mail just in case ;-)

I too have seen this behaviour and reported it via the gnus bug
mechanism. I noticed it on going from 5.6.5 to 5.6.6. After some
investigation, I reverted part of the patch in nnheader.el. I don't
know if my changes have any other implications, so I will wait to see
if Lars incorporates my fix in a future version.

(setq debug-on-quit 't)

Then try to enter such a group.  When it hangs, press C-g.

Mail the backtrace either to this list or to Lars at gnus-bug.
