XEmacs sometimes crashes when entering a group that is not on my

I'm guessing it is a difficulty in calling external processes (maybe
IMAP?). Note that by "first time" I mean the first time entering
*any* group not on my machine.
As you say, it is intermittent. Starting and stopping Xemacs a few
times makes it go away. Some days its worse than others.
If it does not crash on the first group entered, it continues to work
until I exit gnus. But a new gnus session either works or it doesn't.
If it doesn't I need to restart Xemacs until I get one that works.
Umm, I didn't check if nntp groups fail or not.
Rebooting does not seem to help.
By "crash", I mean the behaviour you describe above. An error window
pops up, a DOS console with a bunch of debugging messages pops up.
The XEmacs window disappears.
I submitted a bug report about this a month or so ago.
The reasons for this are known, we just need to fix it :)
