Subject: xemacs hang while gnus is trying to cope with flakey server
Date: 20 Nov 2000 07:54:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2em06952o.fsf@serpent.laymusic.org> (raw)
I'm finding that gnus is dealing badly with my new isp's newsserver.
I think the right answer is to start using leafnode and let it just
give up when it can't cope without making me wait for it in real
time. But before I do that, I'm willing to do any debugging people
want to suggest, although it will probably behave fine if I'm waiting
to trap it somehow.
The usual symptom is that gnus takes forever to come back when I say
"g", and then when I ^g out of it, it does deny the server, but also
seems to have forgotten the marks in all of the groups in that server.
Last night, however, even ^G didn't get out of the loop, and I got
this backtrace when I killed the xemacs:
Lisp backtrace follows:
# (unwind-protect ...)

[1]- Broken pipe xemacs -f gnus
I have the server set up as a foreign server, i.e. not my primary or
secondary source, and defined to come up denied in my .gnus:
(add-to-list 'gnus-opened-servers '((nntp "news-east.speakeasy.net")
denied))
