Hi again,

The gnus reading problem is reproducible.  Just M-x gnus and reading
a new group containing loads of articles (im my case alt.games.doom
with 5605 articles).

On the console I get the message:

Pid 27854 was killed due to stack growth failure.
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
or stack size exceeded maxssiz.


Memory/swap should be a problem (maxdsize=64M, core dump happens when
process has 15M).  Configured stack size is maxssize=8M.

Cheers, Alfred.
