pgnus 0.88: '!' and '?' bugs

Pterodactyl Gnus v0.88

GNU Emacs 20.3.10.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Wed May 26 1999
on g.wolfram.com


'!' on an article in the Summary buffer returns this backtrace:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
  nnheader-insert-nov(nil)
  gnus-cache-possibly-enter-article("nnml:gnu.ding" 8511 t nil nil)
  gnus-summary-mark-article(nil 33 nil)
  gnus-summary-mark-forward(1 33)
  gnus-summary-tick-article-forward(1)
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-tick-article-forward)

'?' on an article in the Summary buffer returns this backtrace:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
  nnheader-insert-nov(nil)
  gnus-cache-possibly-enter-article("nnml:gnu.ding" 8516 nil t nil)
  gnus-summary-mark-article(nil 63 nil)
  gnus-summary-mark-forward(1 63)
  gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant(1)
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant)


In each instance, using ! or ? a second time seems to do the right
thing, but then if I exit the group and enter again, the articles
I marked with ! and ? are not visible.

Ah - that would probably fix the disappearing message problem after
the buggy caching.

Shenghuo ZHU's patch in <2n1zfci4om.fsf@zsh.cs.rochester.edu> fixed
the problem with ! and ?

Thanks -
