* Invalid regexp: "Invalid back reference"

Twice while using pgnus 0.69 I've been told that «Invalid regexp:
"Invalid back reference"» when trying to enter a group. 

When this happens, I'm not able to enter any groups, and I get this
error message instead.  So far it has only happened on start-up. By
quitting and re-starting Gnus, the problem goes away.

Also: User-Agent is not added unless I post from Windows, not Linux,
although the pgnus .elc files are _exactly_ the same.

message-required-news-headers's value is 
(From Newsgroups Subject Date Message-ID
      (optional . Organization)
      Lines
      (optional . User-Agent))

I always get organization, User-agent only under Windows.

Uhm. Forget about at least this part.

Turned out I was using parts of message.el from Gnus 5.6.25. (Because
I also have an account on a machine that runs Emacs 19.31, and I had
to do all sorts of odd things to get posting styles to work on that
machine; and when it I got it to work I just copied my posting style
configurations to another machine.)

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and mail me the resulting
backtrace.

Of course, but it hasn't happened that often yet. It might take some
time before it happens again.

Ah, yes. I was trying to enter no.film, and got this:

Signaling: (invalid-regexp "Invalid back reference")
  string-match("^\\31fritt-forum$" "no.film")
  gnus-score-find-bnews("no.film")
  gnus-all-score-files()
  gnus-possibly-score-headers()
  gnus-summary-read-group-1("no.film" nil t nil nil nil)
  gnus-summary-read-group("no.film" nil t nil nil nil nil)
  gnus-group-read-group(nil t)
  gnus-group-select-group(nil)
* call-interactively(gnus-group-select-group)
        
Oh, mail you? 
OK, one Cc coming up.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.72.
