Andreas> The Lisp-Gods in de.comm.software.gnus say to me, it's a Andreas> problem of XEmacs not a problem of Gnus. That's right. No Lisp program should ever crash. It's certainly true that Gnus developers often seem more interested in crashing XEmacs than producing a decent MUA, but that's very useful to us. Since your stack trace is smashed, there is essentially zero chance that we will be able to find the cause of this (if it's not known already). We would greatly appreciate it if you would run XEmacs under the debugger, which should allow you to generate a useful stack backtrace. You might also try removing regex.o, recompiling it with -DREGEX_MALLOC, and then typing "make" to get the xemacs executable rebuilt. Gnus is quite enthusiastic about regular expressions, often applying them to megabytes and megabytes of text, which crashes the regexp engine which uses alloca (and thus eventually runs out of stack, usually much sooner than XEmacs runs out of virtual memory). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
