But then I don't understand the backtrace you posted:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  <(nil nil)
  sort((nil) <)
  gnus-move-group-to-server(("alt.collecting.pens-pencils" 3 ((1 . 9531)) ((save 9486) (expire 8963 ... 9126 9130 9133 9142 9342 ... ...) (reply 9300 9486 9513))) (nntp "news.mr.net") (nntp "news.uslink.net"))

Am I misreading this backtrace?  Doesn't it say that `(sort '(nil) '<)' 
bugs out?
