This is the same XEmacs I've been using for at least 6 months to do countless successful byte compiles, including dozens of byte compiles of various versions of Gnus, all of which have worked just fine. Can you think of any other reason why this would start to fail in recent Gnus releases? Also, what could cause this error to not show up 100% of the time? If I restart Gnus repeatedly, eventually (like I mentioned, maybe 1 in 10 times or so), I do not get this error, and Gnus starts up fine. There are no byte compiles of anything being done during the time when I'm doing the series of start-up attempts. > ShengHuo -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
