Hello. :-)

I wasn't yelling before, because thought my problem is temporary, or
not gnus related, but...

Short summary of the problem: imap login fails 3-4 times from 10 login.

Details:

Using GNU Emacs 22.2.1 and weekly updated gnus cvs head.

Maybe 2-3 weeks ago discovered, that the contrib/ssl.el is obsoleted,
and tried to rewrite my configuration from ssl to tls in this way:

;; IMAP
;;(setq tls-program '("openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2"))
(setq tls-program '("gnutls-cli -p %p %h"))
(setq tls-hostmismatch nil)
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
             '(nnimap "mail"
                      (nnimap-address "mail")
                      (nnimap-server-port 12345)
                      ;;(nnimap-stream network)
                      (nnimap-stream tls)
                      ;;(nnimap-stream ssl)
                      ;;(nnimap-authenticator login)
                      (nnimap-authenticator cram-md5)
                      (nnimap-list-pattern
                       ("*")
                       )
                      (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/gzp/.gnussecret")
                      (nnimap-nov-is-evil t)
             )
)

The imap server is dovecot. Since the change randomly getting login
problems, 3-4 times from 10 login. In that case gnus asks for the
password and ask for store it for this session or not.

Found a backup cvs checkout from 20080221, that roll works fine
without any problem. If I switch back to contrib/ssl.el the problem
disappear too with the recent cvs.

I don't know lisp or emacs really, so don't know how to enable debug
or provide more detailed debugging info. Drive me.

The imap server log says only bad login:

2008 Apr  9 09:46:10 <mail.info> mail dovecot: imap-login: Aborted
login (auth failed, 0 attempts): rip=1.2.3.4, lip=5.6.7.8, TLS
[repeated 4 times]
2008 Apr  9 09:46:40 <mail.info> mail dovecot: imap-login:
Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<gzp>, method=CRAM-MD5,
rip=1.2.3.4, lip=5.6.7.8, TLS: Disconnected

As I said, I can't reproduce this with cvs-20080221
