Subject: continuing problem with gnus-change-server
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 14:59:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <x767pioyfr.fsf@chow.mat.jhu.edu> (raw)
I've been putting off changing nntp servers for a few months, but now I've
got only 7 days before I lose access to old news server. However,
gnus-change-server is still giving me problems, with qgnus 0.14 and
emacs 19.34.1. This has been discussed before, but below there's
something that might provide a hint. Here's a backtrace:
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
<(nil nil)
sort((nil) <)
gnus-move-group-to-server(("sci.math" 4 ((1 . 210029)) ((cache 171741 173689 199399 199778) (tick 171741 173689 199399 199778))) (nntp "mit" (nntp-address "runge.mit.edu") (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin) (nntp-end-of-line "\n") (nntp-rlogin-user-name "jdchrist") (nntp-rlogin-parameters ("telnet" "galois.mit.edu" "nntp"))) (nntp "news.jhu.edu"))
gnus-change-server((nntp "mit" (nntp-address "runge.mit.edu") (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin) (nntp-end-of-line "\n") (nntp-rlogin-user-name "jdchrist") (nntp-rlogin-parameters ("telnet" "galois.mit.edu" "nntp"))) (nntp "news.jhu.edu"))
* call-interactively(gnus-change-server)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
If I execute (sort '(nil) '<), emacs successfully returns (nil).
However, if I execute (sort '(nil nil) '<), emacs complains and gives
me the following backtrace, which looks suspiciously like the above
backtrace.
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
<(nil nil)
sort((nil) <)
eval((sort (quote (nil)) (quote <)))
eval-expression((sort (quote (nil)) (quote <)))
call-interactively(eval-expression)
Could gnus be trying to sort a list like (nil nil)? (And can anyone
explain why in the backtrace it says sort((nil) <) rather than
sort((nil nil) <)?)
