I don't think you did something really stupid.  Hm.  I suggest that
you have a look at your ~/.newsrc, ~/.newsrc.eld, ~/.gnus,
~/.newsrc-dribble and so on to see if there is any garbage in one of
those files.

The only thing different is that I might have investigated what Gnus
didn't like about the auto-save file that it caused to hang, rather
than just saying no the second time.
