I have have been experiencing this too (Solaris 2.5, XEmacs 19.14,
gnus-5.2.25). I verified that SIGIO is working correctly (at least in
my case) using the test outlined in the XEmacs FAQ:

    2.SIGIO is broken on your system, but BROKEN_SIGIO isn't defined. 

	To test #2, try executing 

	(while t)

	from the *scratch* buffer. If C-g doesn't interrupt, then
	you're seeing #2.

C-g did interrupt the loop when I tried this. What would be best to
check/try next?
