Problem with exiting groups

Problem with exiting groups

[Niklas Morberg]

Fresh CVS. I use the agent and an nnimap backend. Sometimes
when I try to leave a group, I get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p (8567))
  gnus-compress-sequence(((8567)) t)
  gnus-update-marks()
  gnus-summary-update-info()
  gnus-summary-exit()
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit)

The only way I've found to exit the group when this happens
is to kill the buffer. Any ideas on what might be going on
here?

Are you using spam.el? I just deactivated spam.el yesterday and since
then the problem is gone. Maybe it's the same for you.

Strange, how could spam.el be a problem with article numbers?  It
looks like gnus-compress-sequence expects a number and is getting a
list of one article.  Can you try using spam.el without the summary
exit hooks and see if you still get this error?  Even so, there has to
be something else wrong.  spam.el does not anything unusual at summary
exit, except move articles - which I assume you are not using.

I have not seen this problem yet, so it would be great if you could
tell us how to reproduce it.  If you submit a Gnus bug, cc me on it
please.

Thanks
Ted

I am using spam.el, yes.

Certainly. I know unreproducible bug reports are pretty much
useless, which is why I was asking if anyone else had seen
the same problem. I'll let you know if/when I have more
useful info.

I think the bug is related to the code that's marking (possibly
several) messages as replied.  It's a kinda tricky macro to write,
and I have a slight feeling that it's evaling differently when Gnus
is compiled as when it's not.

The bug might be fixed now, though -- I tinkered some with it
yesterday.

Unfortunately didn't.  I still got the same error after I post
forward an article:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p (445))
  <(369 (445))
  sort(((445)) <)
  gnus-update-marks()
  gnus-summary-update-info()
  #<compiled-function (&optional temporary) "...
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit)

Fixed in CVS.

Sorry, I should have written like this:

  I still got the same error after I post-forward marked plural
  articles using gnus-summary-post-forward.

I found the problem is caused by gnus-uu-digest-mail-forward
which passes a list of article numbers to
gnus-inews-add-send-actions since gnus-summary-work-articles is
used for such a situation.

Meanwhile I have to say that the problem did not go away. I'm trying
to find out how to reproduce the bug.

My Gnus is up-to-date, and I just an error on group exit after
following-up to an article.  I've lost the backtrace, but the error
was caused by passing a list of the form '((123)) to
gnus-compress-sequence.

If I get a backtrace after emailing this message, I'll post it.

Hm.  Please write exactly what, what, and what you operated
before exiting a summary buffer.
