pgnus 0.51 - Summary position lost

pgnus 0.51 - Summary position lost

[François Pinard]

Hi, Lars.

This is a strangeish bug.  Whenever I `R'eply to a message from the
summary, once the `C-c C-c' has sent the message away and the summary window
resurrects, the cursor has been moved away from where it was, usually many
lines earlier, often at the very beginning.  I presume no one but me saw this
problem?  I'm using Emacs 20.3.1 and Pterodactyl Gnus 0.51 on this system.

I've seen this a couple of times, and it's always been the result of
local variables leaking.  This only happens when edebugging and/or
getting backtraces, and only rarely even then.

This isn't a Gnus problem, though; it's an Emacs problem.  Just
restart Emacs and things will work again.
