        OK. I don't understand what just happened, so I'll just tell
 y'all about it, with no speculation. Sequence of events:

 1) I read mail I am replying to. I hit M-u to mark ir un read. I hit
    q to quit the nnml group and return to the *Group* buffer.
 2) M-: (setq debug-on-error t)
    M-: (setq debug-ignored-errors nil)
 3) G C (enter customization buffer)
 4) Hit down arrow twice, till the curso is over a squarer button
    before To-List.
 5) Hit "space" to toggle button.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (text-read-only "Attempt to change text outside editable field")
  signal(text-read-only ("Attempt to change text outside editable field"))
  widget-before-change(136 136)

  debug(error (void-function nil))
  (nil)

 6) Hit C-c C-c

        Emacs crashed.

 7) emacs -f gnus
 8) G C
 9) down arrow, hit space. A check mark appears. !!!
10) down arrow, enter button, hit space: Same error as above.


        The error happens most of the time, just not every time. Which
 file should I load the .el of to get a better backtrace?

I think it's a new feature.  Don't tell anyone it was an accident.
