Hi,

I've used the customize system to set some options for gnus and, for
example, I get the following lines among others in the custom-file:

 '(gnus-auto-select-next (quote quietly))
 '(message-signature t)

As you'll see if you look at the environment variables, those are not
the current values. Sometimes the values are loaded and after a while
they change e.g. after I get the following error:

Signaling: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
  kill-buffer(#<buffer  *gnus-cache*>)
  kill-this-buffer()
  run-hooks(server-done-hook)
  server-buffer-done(#<buffer  *gnus-cache*> t)
  server-kill-buffer()
  run-hooks(kill-buffer-hook)
  kill-buffer(#<buffer  *gnus-cache*>)
  gnus-cache-braid-nov("nnml:broult" (36))
  gnus-cache-retrieve-headers((587 594 601 606 607 629 630 631) "nnml:broult" nil)
  gnus-retrieve-headers((587 594 601 606 607 629 630 631) "nnml:broult" nil)
  gnus-select-newsgroup("nnml:broult" nil)
  gnus-summary-read-group-1("nnml:broult" nil nil nil nil)
  gnus-summary-read-group("nnml:broult" nil nil nil nil)
  gnus-group-read-group(nil)
  gnus-mouse-pick-group((mouse-2 (#<window 5 on *Group*> 636 (85 . 300) -36193001)))
* call-interactively(gnus-mouse-pick-group)

but it's not systematic:-( Here's what I get if I look at their value
afterwards using the customize system:


Gnus Auto Select Next: [Hide] [Value Menu] off
   [State]: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.


Message Signature: [Hide] nil
   [State]: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.

Thank you for any suggestion,

Chris
