I've installed Emacs 20.4.93 and w3.  w3 seems to reliably make Emacs
dump core (nice to see that Gnus isn't the only package to do that :-), 
so I've backed down to Emacs 20.4 instead.

Anyway, the problem is with non-ascii characters in web-based groups.
It would be nice if w3 could avoid decoding the characters -- is there
a way to make it do that?  That is, some coding-system-for-read in w3
should be bound to `binary' by Gnus before calling the w3 functions,
but which ones?  Heeelp.
