This happened when I wasn't doing anything in my xemacs running just
VM/GNUS. I was reading a mail message, switched to some other FVWM
virtual window and was looking at that when my xemacs just
disappeared.
Here's the lisp backtrace:
Lisp backtrace follows. I snipped the list of newgroups because it
there were so many listed.
process-send-string(#<network connection "nntpd" ("nntp" .
"cnn.exu") state:exit> "LIST ACTIVE alt.sci
\n")
# bind (process string process command address port buffer wait-for callback decode
wait-for strings count received last-point nntp-inhibit-erase command)
# (unwind-protect ...)
# bind (server groups)

# bind (gnus-command-method groups)
