Gnus v5.0.15; nntp 4.0; nnbabyl 1.0
InfoDock 3.4, XEmacs 19.13 of Fri Nov  3 1995 on meltdown (berkeley-unix)

I am trying to switch from Emacs 19.30.1 to InfoDock. I installed Gnus
5.0.15, because I wasn't sure the 5.1 in the Emacs distribution would work
with InfoDock.

Gnus starts ok, but says "no news". I looked in newsrc.el and saw that it
discarded all my nntp groups (but one nnfoled group remained); good thing
it saves a backup. I thought this might be a version problem (the file is
stamped with the Gnus version), so I fixed that manually and restarted it.
No luck, it nulled out newsrc.eld again.

Then I tried to subscribe to a group, and got this. It might not be a Gnus
bug, but some deficiency of InfoDock compared to XEmacs (although I doubt
it). 

Signalling: (invalid-function (macro . #<byte-code (string hashtable) "ÀÁ
ED‡" [symbol-value intern-soft string hashtable] 4 "Get hash value of STRING in HASHTABLE.">))
  gnus-gethash("ualberta.cs.software" [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...])

  call-interactively(gnus-group-unsubscribe-group)

(defmacro gnus-gethash (string hashtable)
  (` (symbol-value (intern-soft (, string) (, hashtable)))))

symbol-value and intern-soft are, of course, defined. backquote is loaded.
