Re: errors in X

[David Wainberg <david@altruistek.com>]

Sorry about that. Thank you for pointing out the problem. Let me try
again. (I removed the odd characters from the backtrace, which I
suppose were causing gnus to automatically change the encoding. True?)

Back to my question:
This may be an Emacs problem, but I am only having trouble with Gnus
so far. I have this problem when running Emacs in X, but not when it's
in a terminal. When I hit M-g on a nnml group in summary or group buffer
I get a "Mail source error: ((args-out-of-range ...." I am running
Emacs 21.4 and Gnus 5.9.0 on Debian Sid. A recent apt-get dist-upgrade
seemed to include a big update to Xorg. Narrowing it down to X took a
while, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone point me in
the right direction?

Thanks much,

-David
