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. -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu)
