This does not prove that the server is not being put into the "denied"
state.  It's true that the first hang still needs another explanation,
but if you check the *Server* buffer and see that the sever is denied,
then closing and opening it will save you having to restart Gnus to
recover, assuming you can get your connection back up in the meantime.
The fact that you still can't contact the server even after the
connection comes back strongly suggests that the server is denied.
