This happens to me fairly regularly, namely whenever I leave GNUS idle
long enough to cause the NNTP connection to break (approx. 1 hour).
Then Emacs eats as much CPU as it can, but can still be used.  After I
restore the NNTP connection (using code I obtained from the net), the
CPU consumption ceases.

This behaviour started when we switched from Emacs 18.55 to 18.56
under SunOS 4.0.3 and persisted through consecutive upgrades to 18.57
and SunOS 4.1.1.  I'm using GNUS 3.13 and the X version of Emacs under
Suns OpenWindows 2.0 server throughout.
