My weak nntpd (NNTP[auth] server version 1.5.12.1 (1 Jan 1995)) seems
not to support the active file feature.  Yes, I should switch the nntpd
(no, I don't want INN; but I do need UUCP, with wihci leafnode isn't
able to deal with.  Any hints?)

Until 0.98 it works setting

    (setq gnus-read-active-file nil)

But this setting makes version 0.99 hang.  Last message displayed:

nnml: Reading incoming mail from file...
nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done [36 times]

If I set

    (setq gnus-read-active-file t)

it also hangs, but after pressing C-g Gnus will retrieve my mails; in
this case it doesn't establish a connection to the nntpd.

Could you `(setq debug-on-quit t)' and send backtrace after pressing
`C-g'?

I've possibly fixed the hanging problem in Gnus 5.8 now. Please test
it again after upgrade.

If hanging happens again, please also send the content of buffer 
" *nntp*". (note the space before *).

Using 

    (setq gnus-read-active-file nil)

it still hangs; setting this variable "t", it now works as it should.
since this is the setting I actually want to use, I'm happy :)  (with
5.8.3 from CVS, approx. 1999-12-04 05:00 CET).

I'd like to help you to debug this case.  Unfortunately, " *nntpd*" is
empty.

How about the " *server ... *nntpd*" buffer?
