I recently had a case where my IMAP server returned a huge VANISHED response.
This cause Gnus to fail on startup with "Stack overflow in regexp matcher".

The fix was to change this line:

     (re-search-forward "^\\* VANISHED .* \\([0-9:,]+\\)"

to this:

     (re-search-forward "^\\* VANISHED .*? \\([0-9:,]+\\)"
