Reiner,
I'd appreciate it if you would try the following (Right now, you're the only one who is reliably producing this particular problem). First, reinstall the 6.43 revision of gnus-sum.el. Then apply this patch.
diff -r6.243 gnus-sum.el 11200c11200,11201 < (all nil) --- > (all > (setq older (gnus-uncompress-range older)))

Better now?


Sorry, not for me. When I call `/ o' I get the following backtrace:

,----[ `/ o' with revision 6.243 of gnus-sum.el ]

When I replace `gnus-summary-insert-articles' and
`gnus-summary-insert-old-articles' with the versions from revision
6.238 (the one before the changes in the agent code) it works fine.

Bye, Reiner.
