yes, I really was surprised ... especially as gnus.org offers a 'nightly
snapshot' that also seems to be the version as of 1st May.

Exactly, I got emacs sources by CVS and used the lisp/gnus/ files (plus
some other lisp files from gnus.org that where missing and XEmacs seems
to require). Byte-Compiling here with XEmacs 21.4 went smoothly, Gnus
runs as before ... at least until now ;)

Gotcha! It works on nnimap but not on nnml which I was using for the
tests. Maybe you'll try this with your installation as well. If it fails
for nnml groups for you, too, that might be an important point for the
discussion you've started on emacs.gnus.general.
