"Process imap not running" message

"Process imap not running" message

[Sarir Khamsi]

[I've tried this question on gnu.emacs.gnus without any response.]

When I try to get mail in GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1, on WinXP SP1, using
Gnus 5.10.6, sometimes I get the message "Process imap not running."
It appears to happen more when the CPU is busy, at least that's all I
can figure out at this point. The debug output is listed below:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Process imap not running")

Sorry about the wide lines and control characters. Any ideas as to what's
going on? Thanks.

[ As the INSTALL.CVS file explains, you should use M-x report-emacs-bug
  which will know where to send the report. ]

Send it to bugs@gnus.org and/or emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
