is this a gnus error? gnus crashes XEmacs

[Josef Oswald]

Well don't know where to start to search for the solution to this
problem: Gnus crashes XEmacs when I want to post, reply or follow-up to
a message in news-groups. 

Fatal error: assertion failed, file xlwtabs.c, line 1997, *reply_width > 0 && *reply_height > 0

Fatal error (6).

but this is not all the whole screen is full with messages ( when I
start XEmacs in a terminal.

I am sorry I don't really know what you mean. 

OK I switched to emacs and gnus, _after_ gnus in XEmacs started to
crash. It happens (here) with the unstable as well as the stable
gnus-versions. 

And yes I often try to use emacs and XEmacs.... 

How can I find out that I used ( or am using)  gnuclient ? 

the only thing I found in ~/.xemacs/init.el

 '(gnuserv-program (concat exec-directory "/gnuserv"))

Well after I got a automatic reply telling me that until the 30. of
August I need to wait, I figured to install a _Beta_ version of 
XEmacs. ( 21.5.b17) 

All I need is a editor with printing capabilities and being able to post
and respond to news-group messages this Beta version does seem to work
alright.
