In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Fri Jun  3 1994 on hpref (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9)

Hi folks,

My emacs just core dumped when I tried to read with gnus a newgroup
containing >5000 articles.  The core file is actually >20 MB because
I had been using the same session for a couple of days.

Here is the traceback.  Hope you can figure what the problem is.

Cheers, Alfred.
