Pressing `J u' in the Gnus group buffer leads to the error in the
subject.

I'm unable to reproduce this bug.  Is there anything special about this
particular group?  What does `G E' on the group look like?

I can't reproduce it now either, but I've seen this problem at least 
twice, and it was accompanied by Gnus refusing to download articles' 
contents (they showed up as empty), in all groups.

If you write some troubleshooting instructions, I'll be sure to try them 
next time.

I don't think there's anything special about this group, all my groups 
go through gmane. Here's 'G E' output:

Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:49:50 +0400

So, I'm seeing this again now. The backtrace looks pretty much the same.

I press 'J u' when the point is on this very group, and get this error. 
When I do this with other groups, I see the expected "Fetching *... done".

What's different about it from other groups is that it has 15 messages I 
can't read. They show up like this:

%  [   0: Gnus Agent             ] [Undownloaded article 64379]
%  [   0: Gnus Agent             ] [Undownloaded article 64380]
   [   0: Gnus Agent             ] [Undownloaded article 64381]

and Gnus just says "message marked for downloading" when I try to read 
any of them. Maybe this actual operation (download a few selected 
articles) is not implemented?

I'm seeing something similiar.

In my *Messages* buffer I see:

Fetching articles for gmane.os.cygwin...
while: No such function: nnagent-retrieve-articles
Fetching headers for gmane.os.cygwin...done
Sorting threads...done
Generating summary...done
Sorting threads...done
Generating summary...done
Message marked for downloading



Also, I didn't see any keymap for `G E'.

`describe-bindings' only showed me:

G C-n		gnus-summary-next-same-subject
G C-p		gnus-summary-prev-same-subject
G ESC		Prefix Command
G N		gnus-summary-next-article
G P		gnus-summary-prev-article
G b		gnus-summary-best-unread-article
G f		gnus-summary-first-unread-article
G g		gnus-summary-goto-subject
G j		gnus-summary-goto-article
G l		gnus-summary-goto-last-article
G n		gnus-summary-next-unread-article
G o		gnus-summary-pop-article
G p		gnus-summary-prev-unread-article



Due to temporary connection problems to other news servers
I had defined (in `gnus-secondary-select-methods'), which
did not show up in the *Group* buffer, perhaps the
incomplete keymap problem (missing `G E') was the result of
that?

Thanks.
