This happens to me on every beta version of 20.0 I have tested, including b30.
Usually noticed with gnus (often during startup), but happens in other cases 
as well. This is under Solaris 2.5, with Sunpro CC4.0. Here is my configure:

./configure --with-gcc=no 
            --with-xpm 
            --with-jpeg 
            --site-includes="/usr/local/include /usr/dt/include" 
            --site-libraries="/usr/dt/lib /usr/local/lib" 
            --with-tooltalk 
            --with-sparcworks 
            --with-cde 
            --with-mule
