Yes, the problem still exists. Gnus got into the confused
plugged/unplugged state again this morning.

FWIW:

M-x emacs-uptime RET
==> 5 days, 0 hours, 26 minutes, 55 seconds

Memory information:

After Gnus got into the confused state and after trying for several
minutes to get it back to it's senses, I exited Gnus (but not Emacs) and
restarted Gnus (with M-x gnus RET) and it was still in it's stuck state
and it printed these messages as it started:

The errors for olduse.net happen all the time (I suspect the site has
gone away), so I assume they are unrelated, but the second message at
20180712T104333.165 seems odd: it appears to suggest that it was
checking olduse.net and gmane.org failed. Or maybe I'm just not reading
that right.

[The server I have set up with the name of "dusty" is on gmane, so the
messages about gmane not being known when checking dusty do make sense.]

I then exited Gnus and exited Emacs, restarted Emacs, restarted Gnus and
everything was back to working as normal.
