Dear Bug Team!
Running No Gnus v0.3 on xemacs 21.4.18/cygwin/native windows, I
occasionally get the following error:
Fatal error: assertion failed, file /usr/src/xemacs-21.4.18/src/redisplay-msw.c, line 563,
runs[i].d
imension == 1
Aborted (core dumped)
This happens every other month when trying to display the summary
buffer of the mythtv mailing list. It seems there is always one
specific message that's causing the problem but I haven't been able to
track down what the specifics are.

I'm surprised you don't have more problems. You're compiling with mule
[international] support, and it's known not to work in 21.4 on windows.
part of the work is 21.5 is a huge overhaul of this to make it work on
windows. the assertion is because gnus is trying to display a chinese
character or something of this nature.
