[Bug: 21.4.19] Gnus crashes when preparing summary buffer

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! Sometimes Gnus crashes as soon as I select a newsgroup in the *group* buffer. Usually I can enter the summary buffer without any problems, but this crash has happened several times now. This may be because I have added a function to gnus-summary-prepare-hook to get rid of the log buffers resulting from gnus' compilation of newsrc.eld: (defun kill-empty-logs () (dolist (buf (list (get-buffer "*Compile-Log*") (get-buffer "*Compile-Log-Show*"))) (if (and buf (= (buffer-size buf) 0)) (kill-buffer buf)))) (add-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-hook 'kill-empty-logs) I hope this report is useful.
