While browsing articles in a group (so far it's only happened in NNTP groups), I'll suddenly start getting the error "No buffer named *Group*" any time I try to scroll an article or open a new article. Sure enough, gnus seems to have quietly crashed in the background: I've got my open summary and article buffers, but the *Group* buffer and all the other gnus-related buffers have silently gone away, and I'm not able to perform any normal gnus operations in the summary/article buffers. I don't know how to trigger this -- it's been happening occasionally as I read news, maybe once for every ten minutes of news reading. No other error pops up. I tried isolating by starting emacs with the -Q option and adding the gnus codebase to load-path, but was unable to start gnus at all -- though all my gnus-related files are in standard locations it's apparently too tied to my .emacs configuration to get out of the gate. I guess I'll leave it at that, with some direction I hope I can provide some more useful information… Thanks, Eric -- GNU Emacs 24.0.93.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-02-16 Ma Gnus v0.4
