Using `g' to do a normal retreival seems not to be working at times.
I haven't really tracked this down extensively and was hoping maybe
someone would have seen something similar.

I have one nntp server:
 (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.la.sbcglobal.net"))
under gnus-select-method and use news.gmane.org as a foreign server.

When I press `g' I see the gmane groups refreshed but not the main
groups.  Looking at `^' to see if it is denied or something, it isn't.

I do have code to stop the agent from downloading groups above level3:
 (setq gnus-agent-handle-level 3)
But these groups are at level 3 and have always been excluded from
being ignored in the past.

Anyone seen a similar phenomena or have a guess where to look to
debug this?
