Traceback while playing with nnslashdot.

[Jack Twilley <jmt+usenet@nycap.rr.com>]

I set up nnslashdot with some very simple settings, and tried to get
it to work the way I'd wanted it to.

I followed Shengzho's "cookbook" instructions on setting up
gnus-subscribe-topics stuff, and that kinda works.  I set
gnus-check-new-newsgroups to 'always, which I'll probably set back to
'ask-server since it's slow.  I set nnslashdot-threaded to nil and
nnslashdot-threshold to 3.  Then I hit 'F', and no new groups came up
automagically.  I had to jump to a group and unzombify it.  (I'd
like to fix this too -- they should just come up as new, subscribed
groups at level 3 -- how do I make this happen?)  Once I did that, I
hit RET on that group, along it chugged along for a good long time
before it gave me this traceback:

If there's anything I can do to help, or anything I'm doing
wrong/nonoptimal, please let me know.
