(It uses a subject format which includes the full list of files affected by the changeset.) Attempts to enter the group failed with a regex stack overflow error. I got around it by editing the database directly, changing the two Subjects into something shorter. But some users may not be able to avoid such issues. Perhaps gnus should limit the search space w/in a header to avoid overflows and the like. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
