Lars> Yup.  This is probably fixed in Red 0.12, though.

This probably explains the massive slow down I've seen in all the Red
Gnus versions I've tried.  With gnus-read-active-file set to 'some,
0.12 loops on a failed select when reading the active file:

 ...
select(256, [], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})     = 0 (Timeout)
select(256, [8], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})    = 0 (Timeout)
ioctl(7, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
ioctl(7, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
gettimeofday({840317876, 802846}, NULL) = 0
select(9, [4 7 8], [], [], {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({840317876, 829585}, {480, 1}) = 0
gettimeofday({840317876, 831423}, {480, 1}) = 0
gettimeofday({840317876, 833243}, NULL) = 0
