Sorry, I don't understand the significance of the "Grep" comment

Every time -- makes any use of gnus under pgnus-0.15
impossible.. nothing can be opened.

Here are the steps that produce the problem for me:

Conditions:  pgnus-0.15 and pgnus-0.13 installed 
             Running emacs-20-2  (MBSK version)

1) Running gnus in pgnus-0.13  Shut down gnus - edit .emacs to point
   to pgnus-0.15.

2) Fire up gnus, pgnus-0.15 ... comes up normally ( *messages* encluded at end)

3) attempt to open nnml groups (nnml:ding.mail)
   The error message comes up (or backtrace with debug on)
   Group cannot be opened

4) Attempt to open news group (gnu.emacs.gnus) an NNTP read starts
   then the error comes up.  Group can not be opened

5) Shut down gnus edit .emacs to point to pgnus-0.13, start up and
   every thing works normally.

I've included the *Messages* buffer of starting pgnus-0.15

Comparing the *Messages* buffer of both startups with the emacs
`compare' tool, the only differences are that in the pgnus-0.15
*Messages* the `Invalid coding system: iso-8859-1' appears

In the pgnus-0.13 *Messages* buffer, the actual opening of the two
groups appears.
