Subject: Gnus NNTP hang

Hi,

I have a scenario that causes Gnus' NNTP client to hang. CVS version,
checked out "Mon Sep 29 21:52:56 2003" (as per lisp/CVS/Entries).

NNTP trace (server-side, with DJB's recordio wrapped around leafnode, CR
replaced by $):

2003-10-09 02:28:13.040812500 6962 < MODE READER$ 
2003-10-09 02:28:14.088993500 6962 > 200 Leafnode 2.0.0.alpha20031001a, pleased to meet you!$ 
2003-10-09 02:28:14.092283500 6962 < GROUP gmane.mail.imap.dovecot$

I pressed M-g here after more articles arrived in that group.

2003-10-09 02:29:31.471722500 6962 < GROUP gmane.mail.imap.dovecot$
2003-10-09 02:29:32.513576500 6962 > 211 10 804 813 gmane.mail.imap.dovecot group selected$

Gnus hangs here (C-g gets it unstuck though). Apparently it expects
further data (which will never come according to RFC-2980), but doesn't
send the commands to request that data. It should have sent XOVER
804-813 in the first place.

<GUESS id="wild">Seems the range calculation is either bogus or the
response handling doesn't figure that "420" means "no further data will
be sent".</GUESS>

I wonder if Gnus uses /older/ cached GROUP replies, failing to overwrite
it with more current replies it has requested.
