This is a file that is part of XEmacs, this has nothing to do with
GNU Emacs (although GNU Emacs does contain this file as well).
To be sure:

Ouch! I think that's actually fixed in the newer Gnus. My version of
Gnus (5.8.7, AFAIK the latest released) has this in parse-time.el:

...
(defvar parse-time-syntax (make-vector 256 nil))
(defvar parse-time-digits (make-vector 256 nil))
According to the copyright, it seems to be newer than the old one, and
according to the code, it should just work with XEmacs.

I tried this change but it simply caused other problems on loading.
Sorry, the suggested change was incorrect. Despite the name,
parse-time-syntax is not a syntax table in the Emacs sense of the
word.
