Wrong argument type: stringp, nil in Summary buffer (0.69)

Wrong argument type: stringp, nil in Summary buffer (0.69)

[Matt Simmons]

For awhile now, I've been getting the following in the summary buffer
when I try to select a message with RET.

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  get-buffer(nil)
  gnus-all-windows-visible-p((quote (vertical 1.0 (horizontal 0.25 ... ...) (article 1.0))))
  gnus-configure-windows(article)
  gnus-summary-scroll-up(1)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-scroll-up)

This only happens if I try to use RET on the first article I select
upon entering the group (also with RET).  `g' works.  After using `g'
once, RET works on the others.

Here's my window configuration:

;; buffer layout
(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article
   '(vertical 1.0
	(horizontal 0.25
	    (vertical 0.75 (summary 1.0 point))
	    (vertical 1.0
	        (picons 5)
		(tree 1.0)))
	(article 1.0))))

Another problem with similar symptoms came along in 0.71.  In that
release, `g' doesn't even work.  I traced that down to an undefined
function - gnus-picons-buffer-name - that was being referenced in
gnus-all-windows-visible-p in gnus-win.el.  This happens because
gnus-picon isn't loaded before g-a-p-v-p tries to use it.

Could you autoload gnus-picons-buffer-name?

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.72.
