Here is something that seems likely to be related to Kai's reported problem with J s.: Starting with cvs 5.10.2 and with a more recent cvs that still says 5.10.2 (yesterday) (and just now including Lars just released 5.10.2 release) I see the following phenomena: Starting emacs/gnus from scratch with `emacs -f gnus'. Everything seems to proceed normally but once everything is fully loaded. If I run `J s' gnus/emacs completely crashs and the frame disappears without a sound. Some sort of silent kill happens. Looks like what one would expect from a `kill -9 emacs'. (NOTE: Reverting to cvs version v0.20 cures the problem reported below) Recent changes I've done are: 1) Removed the 3 cons cells related to undownloaded faces with customize 2) Added `%O' specifier to gnus-summary-line-format (in .gnus.el) (setq gnus-summary-line-format "%O%2t%U%R%7d%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n") 3) Added a handler someone posted to .gnus.el (setq gnus-use-demon t) (setq gnus-demon-timestep 1) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 120 60)
