Hm.  Really strange.  Then the only thing that comes to my mind is to
read the source to figure out what happens when you hit RET.  I'd
search for the spot where it checks gnus-large-newsgroup.  Then I'd
try to figure out what was compared against gnus-large-newsgroup.
Then I'd try to figure out why was the value so large.

(You could set gnus-large-newsgroup to a large value, of course, but
that'd be cheating, right?)
