Package: emacs23-gtk
Version: 23.1+1-2
Severity: normal

I was previously using Gnus with NNIMAP (local dovecot) under the non-Debian
emacs-snapshot packages:

] dpkg -l emacs-snapshot*
||/ Name                                                 Version

ii  emacs-snapshot-gtk                                   1:20090730-1

The version is the snapshot date.

After upgrading to the Debian emacs23 packages I now get an awful lot of these
messages:

Warning - invalid active: 2177  Re: [Users] read-only root      m...@linux.it

They touch all the articles viewed recently, etc.  They are showing up, as far
as I can determine, from something causing the wrong buffer to be selected, or
to have the wrong content, during parsing of the active file.

This is quite reproducible, and going back to emacs-snapshot resolves the 
problem.


I have also had several potentially connected, but not reliably reproducible,
issues:

In one instance the output of 'git log' was misparsed by magit, although it
worked correctly before and after, and has never occurred previously, even on
the same repository.

Around the same time Emacs reported that there was invalid bytecode in
'cl-seq', although there was no clear link between the two events other than
being within a minute or so of each other.


Sorry to be so vague about this: I am still trying to identify what, other
than Gnus, is involved.  The one significant similarity is that both the
dovecot IMAP server and 'git log' are external processes run by Emacs.

(I use dovecot via a shell pipe, rather than a socket.)

Regards,
        Daniel
