Hi
I get an error once in a while when hitting 'g' in rge group buffer
for getting new mail and news, the error is:
wrong-type-argument stringp nil
I made a debug-on-error t and reproduced the error:
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
format(nil)
apply(format nil)
error(nil)
nntp-retrieve-groups(("gnu.emacs.help" "gnu.emacs.sources" "alt.religion.emacs" "gnu.emacs" "alt.php" "gnu.emacs.gnus" "dk.edb.internet.webdesign.serverside" "dk.edb.internet.webdesign.serverside.php" "comp.emacs" "dk.marked.privat.edb") "news.worldonline.dk")
gnus-retrieve-groups(("gnu.emacs.help" "gnu.emacs.sources" "alt.religion.emacs" "gnu.emacs" "alt.php" "gnu.emacs.gnus" "dk.edb.internet.webdesign.serverside" "dk.edb.internet.webdesign.serverside.php" "comp.emacs" "dk.marked.privat.edb") (nntp "news.worldonline.dk"))

gnus-get-unread-articles(nil)
gnus-group-get-new-news(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-group-get-new-news)

I get the same one. I'm beginning to wonder if there could be
something related to a firewall with that. I know my firewall
silently drops connections after a moment of inactivity, but I'm not
sure it's related.
Hoping this will help...
Roland.

I have gotten this regularly, both behind a firewall and not behind
one.

This looks like the exact same problem I posted about earlier - see

I believe ShengHuo checked in a fix yesterday...
