Heck this is fun: 
Now when I start gnus in XEmacs I get this error. 
I even moved the varios .newsrc-files just to see what would cause this
error. Well I run XEmacs and emacs each with gnus at the same time once
just to check something out....

Strange it works but we don't know why: 
it's Windows it does not have bugs only features;
the _most_ often _heard_ lie of the 20th. century, 
will it  _continue_ in the third  Millennium?
