Package: gnus
Version: 5.10.6-6
Severity: important
When I try to do pretty much anything in gnus (like press 'g' in the
Group buffer), I'm getting the error:
Adding new name: too many links,
/home/nelson/.Maildir/INBOX.lists.debian-bugs-dist/.nnmaildir/num/:,
/home/nelson/.Maildir/INBOX.lists.debian-bugs-dist/.nnmaildir/num/7d00
Not really surprising, given:
$ ls /home/nelson/.Maildir/INBOX.lists.debian-bugs-dist/.nnmaildir/num/ | wc
-l
32000
However, I use expiry on that group and the number of messages currently
there is not excessive:
$ ls /home/nelson/.Maildir/INBOX.lists.debian-bugs-dist/.nnmaildir/nov/ | wc
-l
6145
debian-bugs-dist is a very busy list and since nnmaildir apparently
doesn't do anything to clean up after itself, it exhausts the number of
links it can create. gnus is now rendered unusable for me.

Debian now supplies Emacs version 24, which has a much newer version of Gnus,
so this report is no longer relevant.
