      I suspend GNUS with `z', leave the workstation idle for several
      hours, come back and switch to the *Newsgroup* buffer, type `g' and
      see a message (approx) "Process NNTP not running..."

   Sounds like your idle time crossed a threshold, and nntpd gave up on
   you, packed it in, and closed the connection.  It's not GNUS' fault.


But don't despair!  This'll re-open the connection... (from my .emacs):


;;; when the connection dies..

(defun gnus-reopen ()
  (interactive)
  (gnus-open-server gnus-nntp-server))


The current cached headers will be bogus, so if you're in *Subject* you should
"q" and reselect the group from *Newsgroup*.
