I fixed it as follows:

--- gnus-start.el       15 Dec 2008 20:22:12 +0100      7.68
+++ gnus-start.el       21 Dec 2008 20:19:37 +0100

 (defcustom gnus-before-startup-hook nil
-  "A hook called at before startup.
+  "A hook called before startup.
 This hook is called as the first thing when Gnus is started."
   :group 'gnus-start
   :type 'hook)
