Hi:
using gnus 5.9.0 on linux (RH 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-10)
From the group buffer, when I hit "G" to check for new news and mail,
on odd-numbered tries, it succeeds, and even numbered tries, it
fails.
The difference is that on the failures, it doesn't try to connect to
the news server -- I think gnus believes it's already connected.
I've advised gnus-group-get-new-news to show existing buffers
and do a netstat before running, and to put the output in the
*Messages* buffer.
It looks like for failures, netstat shows an established socket to the
news server, and there's a leftover buffer:
#<buffer *server netnews.attbi.com nntp *nntpd**>
Also, there's no message:
Opening nntp server on netnews.attbi.com...
Instead, it just jumps straight to:
Reading active file from netnews.attbi.com via nntp...
where the debugger starts.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can stop it?
Thanks.
