Thanks!  I downloaded it, and I'll try to install it this weekend.

I suspect my problem is related to a corrupted .bbdb.  It's got 311 closing
parentheses at the end and about 4400 lines total.  I've not seen a 
definition of the bbdb format, but, at 4400 lines, I'm not looking forward
to a manual scrub of the file, even if I knew that would fix it.

The changelog on the new bbdb says it's got a new format and will usually
automatically update old .bbdbs, so I'm hopeful.

Incidentally, I should have said: I'm running Gnus v. 5.13, Emacs 23.2.1 as
modified by Debian, and bbdb 2.36

Will do.

Thanks.  That's one less path to wonder about.
