errors in X
Hi, Maybe this is an emacs problem, but I'm only seeing problems so far in Gnus. When running Emacs and Gnus under X, if I hit M-g (gnus-summary-rescan-group?) in the Summary or Group buffer, I get an error: Mail source error ((args-out-of range I don't have this problem if I run Emacs in a terminal. I'm running Emacs 21.4, Gnus 5.9.0 on Debian Sid. I recently did an apt-get dist-upgrade, which seemed to include a big update to Xorg. Can anyone help? The backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error Cannot get new mail) signal(error (Cannot get new mail)) error(Cannot get new mail) byte-code(?? ? ? ?\!?? ? ?? ? ?!?? ? ? ?

Re: errors in X
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?
