Subject: Error after moving to Debian Jessie and Gmail app password

I've used Gnus for some number of years, pulling email via POP3 while
leaving it on the server. I've done this from gmail for at least 5 years, I
think.

Not too long ago, I moved from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, and it stopped
working.  I was busy and didn't work on it for a while, but I just tried
again, found that I couldn't log into gmail because I lacked an app
password, and apparently fixed it.

I entered `3 g` and waited while gnus grabbed a few months of email.  Then
it said it was moving them, as it should with nnsplit.  Finally, it gave me
an error: `gnus-get-unread-articles: Wrong type argument: numberp, y`

I ran (setq debug-on-error t) in the scratch buffer and restarted Gnus.  It
did the same thing, and then I ended up with this in a backtrace buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument numberp y)

Does this make any sense to anyone?  Anything else I should look at to
figure this out?

I'm running Gnus v5.13 on Emacs 24.4.1.

Thanks,

Bill
