This is a KILL file problem.  The rn KILL file has an initial
line as follows:

THRU 47394

This tells the KILL file where to start analyzing.  When you
enter gnus, it sees the file and tries to analyze it.

Put the following in your .emacs

(setq gnus-kill-file-name "KILL.gnus")

This will keep the rn and gnus KILL files separate and let you
run both.
