Are you absolutely sure that it's the nntp connection that causes it?
It doesn't inhibit quit anywhere...

To test that, try doing the same, but instead of `g', eval the
following:

`(nntp-request-list "your.server.name")'

That shouldn't do any name lookups (which I've experienced hangs with)
or the like, but just try to use the open socket, which you should be
able to `C-g' out of.
