[h-e-w] GNUs trouble in 21.2

[Christopher C. Stacy]

I put the following in my .emacs:

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "nntp.mydomain" (nntp-port-number 119)))
  (add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-authinfo)

but when I  m-x gnus, it blows up:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
