function definition is void: gnus-remove-overlays

[Harry Putnam]

Since updating from whatever version was on about 1.5 mnths ago to
most recent git repo sources I'm hitting an error with certain
messages.

Any thread with more than 1 message seems to spark off the error below
and prevents the thread opening.

(backtrace)

The string "gnus-remove-overlays" does not exist in the Gnus sources
(any more).  Are you loading bits of older Gnus versions?

The defun below causes no problems with whatever version of ma-gnus I
was on before updating (probably 6mnths or so old) .

But causes gnus to be unable to open thread with more than one massage
in latest version (yesterdays git pull)

Commenting the defun out seems to solve the problem.

(I vaguely remember adding this a good while back when a problem with
where the cursor landed in certain situations cropped up) NOTE the line
below bracketted with asterisks:

 (defun gnus-summary-show-thread ()
   "Show thread subtrees.
 Returns nil if no thread was there to be shown."
   (interactive)
   (let* ((orig (point))                                    ;; **
    (end (point-at-eol))
          (end (or (gnus-summary--inv end)                  ;; **
                   (gnus-summary--inv (1- end))))           ;; **
    ;; Leave point at bol
    (beg (progn (beginning-of-line) (if (bobp) (point) (1- (point)))))
    (eoi (when end                                    ;; **
      (if (fboundp 'next-single-char-property-change)
          (or (next-single-char-property-change end 'invisible)
         (point-max))
        (while (progn
            (end-of-line 2)
            (and (not (eobp))
            (eq (get-char-property (point) 'invisible)
                'gnus-sum))))
        (point)))))
     (when eoi

Just use `remove-overlays' instead of `gnus-remove-overlays'.

Yup... works fine... thank you sir.
