I've got a mail in my folder, which leads to a "Memory exhausted-- <etc.>"
message in Emacs if I open it with Gnus. That is strange because
Memory: 512M real, 7744K free, 511M swap in use, 1537M swap free
though I know Emacs itself has a memory usage limit.
The mail message is ca. 1900 lines long.
I don't attach it here, not to ruin somebody's Gnus accidentally, but I
resend it to anybody on request.
You can also download it from <URL:http://www.inf.bme.hu/~airwin/1173>.
Thanks,

I tried viewing the message, and it worked OK for me. It's an HTML
message, so perhaps this is w3 related?

My fault, I haven't announce my environment. I'm using GNU Emacs 20.4.1
(sparc-sun-solaris2.7, X toolkit) of Thu Jul 29 1999 on kempelen with
Pterodactyl Gnus v0.98
How can I help to debug the problem? With backtracing? And if so, how can I
do that?
I still have the problem.

`(setq debug-on-error t)' and repeat the bug. You should then get a
backtrace.

Tried it, does not work. It seems not be a real error triggering debug.

What w3 version are you using?

GNU Emacs does not include the w3 package, as XEmacs does, and I haven't
installed it. So my tip is Gnus should display it inline, shouldn't it?

It should. I haven't heard of a similar behavior before. Could there
be something wrong with your Emacs 20.4 installation?

I don't think so.
I've created a testuser, with no .emacs, no .gnus. I've started Gnu Emacs,
Gnus 5.8.2, and opened the message... with the same results.
And now listen: I've repeated the very same procedure on a i586 Linux
machine, and Emacs did a segfault!
I'm not sure anymore if that is a Gnus-bug.

If Emacs segfaults, then it isn't a Gnus bug.
