This can be reproduced using news.metrocast.net since it is one of the 
news servers that require authentication.  When I start up gnus, without 
providing authentication, gnus goes into deep space and gets lost.  It 
downloads an active file over a million bytes in size and just keeps on 
downloading.  If I run rtin against the same server news.metrocast.net, 
the subcontracted server with the news on it comes up news.giga.com and 
expects authentication without downloading any active file.  For whatever 
reason, gnus is failing to catch and display the authentication expected 
message and this is the version 5.3..1 built into emacs 23.x.
