Actually I did find a debuginfo package (thanks Ville!) [it's not in a
yum repository but I found it on rpmfind] but I agree, I don't think
it's worth the effort.

If it happens again after I remove gnus from site-packages, I'll come
back to this and get more info for you with an unstripped binary.
