Gee, that looks familiar.  You are probably hitting the same `feature'
that plagued me back in the .60's.  Edit all your archive mail files
to remove extraneous (== only in the message *body*) lines that begin
with the string `From '.

Eg.  A line of the form

From some random text here

in a message body in nnfolder+archive causes Gnus 5.4 to infloop when
the server is opened.  New files properly quote these lines:

>From some random text here
