nnvirtual not working with September 0.51 / XEmacs 19.14b14

["Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]" <sperber@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Hi there,

I'm not sure this is an sgnus bug at all.  I'm running XEmacs
19.14b14, and nnvirtual is broken in some ways:

I have an nnvirtual group combining an nnml group and an nntp group.

First of all, fetching the article headers takes *forever*, usually
(with more than 20 articles) on the order of several minutes.
Interrupting that usually gives me a backtrace like this:

re-search-forward("[^ ]+:[0-9]+" ... t)
nnvirtual-retrieve-headers(...)
gnus-retrieve-headers

Also, if one specific article is present in the headers, I only get to
see that single article in the summary buffer.  The summary header
looks like this:

E -[   9:  invalid opcode     ] Re: identd for FreeBSD 2.1R?
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
           Note

The article header is this:

From: Chris Dabrowski <chrisd@demon.net>
Subject: Compiling BIND 4.9.3 on FreeBSD 2.1R

When I read the nnml group by itself, the header shows up correctly:

E  [  61:  Chris Dabrowski    ] Compiling BIND 4.9.3 on FreeBSD 2.1R

Oh, I'm running tm 7.47 and bbdb 1.50 also.  I realize the problem may
be with any of the components of my system, but maybe some has seen
them, too.

They've been present in a previous version of tm, and with sgnus since
about 0.36 and earlier betas of XEmacs, too.  I'm not sure they were
introduces with a news sgnus release or another beta---both come out
quite frequently.

Can anyone make something of this?  I don't even know where to begin
looking.  Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Cheers =8-} Chipsy
