Does emacs crash or does gnus simply report some error? That looks like a regexp bug I reported here and to RMS a while back. It turns out that in some cases (hairy regexps of certain sorts?), the regexp matching code requires an amount of temporary space based on the size of the buffer-portion it's trying to match against -- such as the entire "to:" field. Try cutting down the "to:" field significantly and see if gnus can handle it then. Ken
