I posted a reply to this problem a few weeks ago, but don't have a
copy around.  (If you saved a copy, could you send it back to me?
Thanks!!!)

Basically, the fix involves telling gnus that you can't support long
filenames by putting this with your other gnus stuff.

	(setq gnus-use-long-file-name   nil)

Then get rid of saved files that may be interpreted as kill files.
They are probably in ~/News/<newsgroup> where <newsgroup> is of the
form "gnu.emacs.gnus".  The setq will make newsgroup have the form
"gnu/emacs/gnus".  That way it won't collide with kill files that try
to be named "gnu.emacs.gnus.KILL" but which actually get named
"gnu.emacs.gnus" when truncated to 14 characters.

Again, please send me a copy of my reply if you have saved it.  I
meant to, but forgot.

Thanks and hope this helps,
