I'm sorry, I thought emacs21 didn't include gnus (and it was my fault
not to cheked before posting, as I did for emacs-snapshot). And I
didn't now at all that gnus provides No Gnus (there's no hint in the
package description). Anyway, I'm installing gnus ;-)

As of above, I thought the problem was not only in gnus-bonus-el, but
also in emacs-snapshot. Again, my fault.

That's for sure, but before I asked here. Sorry for the confusion.

That's why I asked at the end "am I wrong?" :-D

Thanks for your time, stopping here and filing a bug for
gnus-bonus-el.
