Starting current CVS Gnus I get with XEmacs 21.4.13:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument listp t)

  gnus-1(nil nil nil)
  gnus(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus)
  command-execute(gnus t)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)


Everything works if I go back to:
$ cvs up -D 2003-12-20 

I can't see directly what's wrong, any ideas?
