problems with emacs-snapshot-20110519 and gnus

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello all,

just wondering: has anybody else had problems with the very latest emacs
24 snapshot for Debian (version 20110519)?  I have had to go back to a
previous snapshot as moving from one message to the next crashes emacs
completely and consistently.

Julien?

thanks,
eric

See http://debbugs.gnu.org/8702.  The fix seems to be this one:

Don't worry, I already got a dozen emails about that. I just uploaded a
new snapshot fixed.
