gnus error

gnus error

[Michael Slass]

Hi:

I periodically get this error when I hit "g" in the group buffer.
After that, if I try again, gnus hangs on
"Reading active file from netnews.attbi.com via nntp..."


Any help will be welcome, and thank you.

Here are the relevant portions of my .gnus  (please accept my
apologies in advance if this is too much kack -- I'm not really sure
what's relevant to this problem.)
