Just a data point: I used to have tons of issues like this one (and
basically used to quit and run gnus again every time I resumed from
suspend). I no longer have any. I _think_ it's because I switched from
using a shell connection to a local TCP connection. Also, I used to get
random hangs, even with a TCP connection, and they disappeared magically
a couple of months ago. I don't know who did that, but good job :-)
