I've used Gnus for some number of years, pulling email via POP3 while
leaving it on the server. I've done this from gmail for at least 5 years, I
think.

Not too long ago, I moved from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, and it stopped
working.  I was busy and didn't work on it for a while, but I just tried
again, found that I couldn't log into gmail because I lacked an app
password, and apparently fixed it.

I entered `3 g` and waited while gnus grabbed a few months of email.  Then
it said it was moving them, as it should with nnsplit.  Finally, it gave me
an error: `gnus-get-unread-articles: Wrong type argument: numberp, y`

I ran (setq debug-on-error t) in the scratch buffer and restarted Gnus.  It
did the same thing, and then I ended up with this in a backtrace buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument numberp y)

Does this make any sense to anyone?  Anything else I should look at to
figure this out?

I'm running Gnus v5.13 on Emacs 24.4.1.

Thanks,

Bill
