Yes.  In some obscure cases -- if the first group you enter has had
all its new answers cancelled -- Gnus will believe that the nntp
server lied when it claimed to be able to grok XOVER.  (Some servers
lie on this point.)  If you know that your server really is an
XOVER-capable server, you should set `nntp-server-xover' to "XOVER"
(instead of the default `try').
