`max-eval-depth' exists to protect against infinite recursion. What
this error message means in this case is that emacs's call stack has
reached a depth of 9999. This is an unlikely depth for normal usage
of gnus. (I run with a `max-eval-depth' of 1500 with no problems.)
What are you trying to do when the problem occurs? Try setting
`debug-on-error' to t and see if the resulting backtrace looks like a
case of infinite recursion. If you think this is still a Gnus related
problem, post the repeating bit of the backtrace here.
