error out of the blue

error out of the blue

[A. L. Meyers]

Suddenly I cannot enter any news- or mailgroups. The debug backtrace is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp 0)
  symbol-name(0)
  gnus-score-string((((touched nil) ("from" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...))) "from" 731029 731022 nil)

  gnus-group-read-group(nil nil "nnml:nj")
  gnus-browse-read-group()

What might be wrong?

Kai, I found the culprit in ~/.emacs.el. Mea culpa except that I don't
know why the error appeared, since these lines had been there for
several weeks at least:

(setq gnus-score-find-score-files-function
      '(gnus-score-find-bnews bbdb/gnus-score))

Whew!! Had to fine-sift the file to find it.
