Also try "netstat -nt | grep :119" and see how many connection gnus
has open to the news server.  Something changed in 5.4 in how gnus
compares two `implicit' servers (foreign groups not associated with an
explicitly defined virtual server) -- gnus now opens one connection
per such server.  I worked around by editing my .newsrc.eld.  You
might need to do the same, depending upon how many open connections
you see with netsat (I had 12 to the same server, where rgnus-0.82
used to open 2).
