  Default setting of dgnushack.el occurs errors because variable
`custom-file' indicates "/dev/null".

  In my environment, /dev/null is readable so check code of custom.el
does not work. So I write following code. Do you think about it?

"/dev/null" is supposed to be readable, but empty.  Loading an empty
file is a no-op on Emacs.  Is it different with MULE?

If "/dev/null" causes problems, just use a bogus file name, like
"/DOES NOT EXIST!".

  In Mule 2.3 based on 19.30, 19.31 and XEmacs 20.0 with Mule, error
occurs.

  It is good.

I've now done so in Gnus 5.2.8.
