Package: gnus
Version: 5.10.6-1.NO.20051213-1

Hi,

if Gnus can't download an RSS feed when it starts, it just stops and
leaves me with that buffer with the Gnus logo in it. These messages
are printed:

nnrss: Requesting Planet Debian...
mm-url-insert-file-contents-external: Couldn't fetch 
http://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml

I'd expect it to tell me about the error, but then to resume its
normal startup sequence. I've been able to reproduce this bug by
adding Planet Debian (with G R) and putting in a bad route to gluck:

# ip r a unreachable 192.25.206.10

A closely problem is that there doesn't seem to be a timeout for
fetching RSS feeds, or if there is then that timeout is too long.
When the server with the RSS feed doesn't respond, the whole emacs
process apparently hangs (it doesn't even draw text anymore).

Regards,
