I think this and 0.40 were the only versions of September I have run. I've fetched and installed Gnus 5.2.1 and etc 0.10 and compiled with XEmacs 19.13 (make EMACS=3Dxemacs). When starting Gnus (in a new emacs) I first got an error parsing the .newsrc.eld. After touching .newsrc and restarting XEmacs I get the following error: Signalling: (wrong-number-of-arguments # 2) match-string(1 "September Gnus v0.45") (and (match-beginning 1) (match-string 1 version))) (let* ((alpha ...)
