When we cut over to NNTP 1.5.10 from 1.5.8, GNUS stopped operating
properly.  It gets through the group selection process fine, but when
you start to read a newsgroup, it gets stuck at the "0% of headers
recieved" point.  Changing nntp-maximum-request to a low number doesn't
fix the problem, which is an implied solution to such a problem.
We're running GNUS 3.13.  We're currently operating by having a 1.5.8
server on a separate port to which the GNUS reader can connect.

Any ideas?  I'll post a summary.
