I've seen this too. My workaround was to symlink from root's crashbox
to myown, then startup gnus. Ick, feep, hacker!

Hmmm... never tried that. Why does it work? did it get your crashed mail?

Nick> Nope just this to get stuff from procmail dir:

        (setq 
              gnus-secondary-select-methods
              '((nnml ""))                      ; Incoming Mail
              nnml-get-new-mail t
              mail-sources
              '((directory
                 :path "~/incoming/"
                 :suffix "")))

Hmmm, I am doing something very similar:

    (setq mail-sources
          '(
            (directory
             :path		"~/ProcMail/"
             :suffix	"")
          ))
    (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods	'((nnml ""))
    )
