>Description:
With the latest xemacs-packages, GNUs (1.80) will not start.  It
complains about "autoload did not define gnus-agent-save-groups".)
This looks like a GNUs bug with a half-implemented function rename
(gnus-agent-save-groups -> gnus-agent-save-active), but I can't work out how
the versions in cvsweb on gnus.org relates to the release (1.80) package......

It doesn't always happen for all users.....  haven't worked out why, I'm
not really an elisp hacker.

(As an aside: bsd.sites.mk has
	MASTER_SITE_XEMACS+= \
			[...]
			ftp://ftp.usyd.edu.au/pub/xemacs/%SUBDIR%/
but this machine has no xemacs mirror.)

>How-To-Repeat:
	xemacs -f gnus
