Actually, the problem is that gnus-agent has been fixed.  The 6.97
revision introduced a typo that did two things 1) it caused the
lib/servers file to forget every agentized server and 2) it triggered
some default code so that every server would be agentized in the
current session (Not bad for a one word change :) ).  Now that the
typo has been fixed, the invalid lib/servers is being read.  The only
permanent fix is to open the server buffer and add selected servers
back into the agent.

Keep an eye out for the next couple of days.  If you don't see
anything dangerous reported, it should be safe for you to try the new
version.
