Well... something. This time it looked like this.

It found the right buffer first after I selected the frame by clicking
in it with the mouse. I tried it a couple of times. It turned out the
same every time. (Quite interesting don't you think.)

But the patch gave a hint. If the current buffer is changed without us
knowing it why not set the buffer back again. Simon tried it but why
not set it just before calling imap-parse-greeting so we know we are
looking at the right thing. This lead to the following patch.

- 		  (set-buffer buffer) ;; XXX "blue moon" nntp.el bug
  		  (goto-char (point-min))
  		  (not (imap-parse-greeting)))
  	(accept-process-output process 1)

... and the right respons to!

I tried it a couple of times and worked every time. Both starting gnus
in new frame and starting gnus in existing frame with more frames
around worked.

Please note that I have only tried it _together_ with Simons patch and
that it only affects imap-network-open.

If you feel adventurous you might want to look into the affairs of
process-status. ;-)
