GNUS v.5.8.8
Hello,
I had the following problem after GNUS/Xemacs crashed on me today.
When trying to start GNUS again I had the following error and backtrace:
Doing a 'touch ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box allowed me to finally start it fine.

Try this patch.
Are you using more than one mail source?

Oops. A typo. This patch should work.

Will do, however I can now start gnus. Maybe I should hold the patch
until I run into this again. Then apply it.
> Are you using more than one mail source?
Nope just this to get stuff from procmail dir:
(setq
gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")) ; Incoming Mail
nnml-get-new-mail t
mail-sources
'((directory
:path "~/incoming/"
:suffix "")))
Thanks for your help.

I've seen this too. My workaround was to symlink from root's crashbox
to myown, then startup gnus. Ick, feep, hacker!

Hmmm... never tried that. Why does it work? did it get your crashed mail?

Hmmm, I am doing something very similar:
(setq mail-sources
'(
(directory
:path "~/ProcMail/"
:suffix "")
))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))
)

I did the same awhile back!
Don't know why the second method worked, but it did.
