emacs crashes frequently when adding attachment

emacs crashes frequently when adding attachment

[Rainer M. Krug]

Hi

I am using emacs 24.2.1 and the gnus included under Ubuntu raring
ringtail, and I experience regular crashes when adding an attachment.

With crash I mean: the emacs windows closes, and emacs is running in the
background and using between 50% and 100% of processor resources.

Any idea or pointers what could cause this behavior? It is quite
annoying, as I have to send emails with attachments via gmail.

Cheers,

Rainer

I've heard of several recent horror stories with latest emacs and ubuntu
13.04 that are related to this bug:

I don't know if it's relevant to your problem but it'd be reasonable to
assume a connection.
