A guess would be that somehow some of your groups contain a select method not matching the agentized one, and thus making Gnus open another nnimap server which would not be under the agent, and that this nnimap hangs trying to talk to the server. (Type `G e' on your nnimap groups in the server buffer, it should say "nnimap:foo" or something similar. The complete select method from g-s-s-methods should also be ok, but `(nnimap "foo")' when your server is really called `(nnimap "foo" (nnimap-foo something...))' is bad.)
