Perhaps this hasn't been tested much.  Could you kill all groups,
restart emacs with this definition instead:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "www.stlport.com"
                (nnimap-address "www.stlport.com")
                (nnimap-stream ssl)
                (nnimap-authenticator login)
                )))

If this solves it, it is probably easy to reproduce the problem.  If
you like to debug the lisp to see why this happens, that would be
appreciated.
