When trying to open newsgroups with a hug number of articles,
e.g. gmane.comp.php.general on the gmane newsserver, I find that gnus is
unable to do so and says "Memory exhausted--use C-x s then exit and
restart Emacs" while doing the nntp read.
Setting gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles doesn't seem to make any
difference, the nntp read still seems to try and get absolutely
everything.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

Works for me when selecting this group from the *Server* buffer
,----[ <f1> v gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles RET ]
| gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is 10
|
| Documentation:
| The maximum number of articles a newsgroup.
| If this is a number, old articles in a newsgroup exceeding this number
| are silently ignored. If it is nil, no article is ignored. Note that
| setting this variable to a number might prevent you from reading very
| old articles.
