Warning: I don't have v0.39 yet (it hasn't propagated to
pilgrim.umass.edu yet), so the comments below may not be appropriate.

But in v0.38, the overload of set-text-properties is done in
gnus-xmas.el, and is done conditionally only for XEmacs-19.13 and
below. In other words, this patch should not be applied.

XEmacs-19.14 has the correct definition for set-text-properties, which
is *different* than gnus-set-text-properties. I do not think that
gnus-set-text-properties should be called directly (unless Lars is not
doing the overload of set-text-properties anymore in gnus-xmas.el).

Gnus-xmas.el does not redefine set-text-properties if 19.14 is being
run.  Gnus-ems.el aliases gnus-set-text-properties to be
set-text-properties.  The code as distributed bombs 19.13 which most
XEmacs'ers are still running.  So I think my patch should be O.K.,
although I'm an unwashed heathen without access to the 19.14 betas, so
I cannot test against it.

Note:  If my patch does prove to be incorrect, then gnus-vis.el will
have to be changed also.

Aye, but it used to. That was my caveat above. I just downloaded
v0.39, and gnus-xmas.el has changed:

$ diff -c ~/gnu/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/gnus/gnus-xmas.el gnus-xmas.el

[elided]
***************
*** 304,310 ****
        
    (require 'text-props)
    (if (< emacs-minor-version 14)
!       (fset 'set-text-properties 'gnus-xmas-set-text-properties))
  
    (fset 'nnheader-find-file-noselect 'gnus-xmas-find-file-noselect)
  
--- 304,310 ----

    (fset 'nnheader-find-file-noselect 'gnus-xmas-find-file-noselect)

And since XEmacs-19.13 doesn't have set-text-properties() (or one which
is broken, which is the root of all this mess) you get the failure
noted. This defalias

sb> Gnus-ems.el aliases gnus-set-text-properties to be
sb> set-text-properties.

is then pointless, as you've noted. But I think it would have been OK
had gnus-xmas.el not changed.

Lars will (of course) ultimately have to sort out what is the right
thing to do -- overload set-text-properties() for versions of XEmacs
prior to 19.14, as done in v0.38 and before (and possibly incur the
wrath of other elisp hackers) or use his own rolled version and call
gnus-set-text-properties eerywhere, i.e., apply the patch you
submitted.

That said, for 19.14 and beyond I think it should definitely use what
is provided by 'text-props. And complain to the XEmacs developers if
it's broken.

Gnus and memory

[Mr. Blond]

The way to get huge numbers for CPU and memory I find
is to select a group with 50,000 or more posts showing
and then to select all 50,000 posts.

I'll do the latter.  Overloading standard functions is tempting, but
it's something that's bound to break things somewhere, sometime.

Hi,
	I left last week for the mardis gras (my first real vacation in
 years), and our main server machine promptly blew it's RAID
 controller, causing the mirror here to go all out of whack (as
 pointed out by Mark Borges -- thanks, Mark). (Somebody shoulda shot
 Murphy). Anyway, it is all better now. Currently on tap:
