It appears that your dribble (autosave) file is corrupted.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Auto-Save.html
Normally, gnus asks whether to read it. If it does, answer "n"
at startup. If it doesn't ask, you may have the
gnus-always-read-dribble-file set to non-nil in your .gnus file.
Set it temporarily to nil, restart gnus, and answer "n" to the
question.
Or, perhaps, just delete the dribble file.
