[CVS HEAD] Can't get news in Gnus

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! In the newest version of XEmacs, ie. after applying Ben's patches from today, I can't get news with Gnus. The error message is Internal error: lstream not open, #<INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?) (filedesc lstream) 0x84f5f00> This doesn't happen on Gnus startup, ie. I'm able to get the first set of postings. But subsequent attempts (hitting 'g' in the group buffer eg.) fail. This bug doesn't affect getting mail, only news. norbert. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: FreeBSD viteno.dyns.net 4.6-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.6-PRERELEASE #5: Sun May 5 12:31:56 CEST 2002 nk＠viteno.dyns.net:/usr/local/obj/usr/local/src/sys/PHI i386 configure '--site-includes=/usr/local/include' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/lib' '--prefix=/usr/users/nk/local' '--use-union-type' '--with-toolbars=no' '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.5-b6 "bok choi" configured for `i386-unknown-freebsd4.6'.
