Well, looks like you got way with your pose... Turns out that tramp is involved somehow (backtrace at the end). I'm guessing I must have opened a group on a remote sometime or other... that all I could think of... but the server buffer doesn't show anything like that. Also I had a variable `gnus-agent-expire-unagentized-dirs' set... which may have been causing problems.. but when I set it to nil and called M-x gnus-agent-expire.... it finished immediately.. I mean instantaneously. That's when I noticed I had no agentized groups. I guess it was a senior moment..Then I remembered having took all groups out of agent control. I'm not sure what tramp is doing in the backtrace ... equally baffled by the presence of anything to do with cygwin.... this is a linux (gentoo) machine..maybe someone will know. I finally just ran a find delete cmd deleting anything more than 20 days old with number for a name. ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- Back trace Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit) backquote-process((tramp-completion-file-name-handler cygwin-mount-name-hook-function cygwin-mount-map-drive-hook-function \, (and (eq inhibit-file-name-operation operation) inhibit-file-name-handlers))) #[(structure) "\301!A\207" [structure backquote-process] 2 1694483]((tramp-completion-file-name-handler cygwin-mount-name-hook-function cygwin-mount-map-drive-hook-function \, (and (eq inhibit-file-name-operation operation) inhibit-file-name-handlers))) (\` (tramp-completion-file-name-handler cygwin-mount-name-hook-function cygwin-mount-map-drive-hook-function \, (and ... inhibit-file-name-handlers))) (let* ((inhibit-file-name-handlers ...)
