Hello to all,
It happens, that I am getting:
lisp nesting exceeds 'max-eval-depth
How can I correct this. Kai suggested I am adding in
~/.emacs (setq max-specpdl-size 9999)
what I have done...
Unfortunately the problem is not solved.
Any ideas what I have to do ?
Many thanks
Regards

`max-eval-depth' exists to protect against infinite recursion. What
this error message means in this case is that emacs's call stack has
reached a depth of 9999. This is an unlikely depth for normal usage
of gnus. (I run with a `max-eval-depth' of 1500 with no problems.)
What are you trying to do when the problem occurs? Try setting
`debug-on-error' to t and see if the resulting backtrace looks like a
case of infinite recursion. If you think this is still a Gnus related
problem, post the repeating bit of the backtrace here.

In fact, I do nothing special...just reading news.
Shall set debug on error and will let you know backtrace.
