   Many times, when I run GNUS under Emacs 18.57, I get this error message:
   "Fatal error(4).Illegal instruction".  This doesn't happen to me when
   running any other elisp packages.  Has this happened to anyone else?  It
   always happens after the message "checking new news...".

Hmm... this is interesting, but should have absolutely nothing to do
with GNUS, as I am assuming you are running it from byte-compiled code
which is completely portable.  Also, the source should not be a
problem.  The only thing I can figure is that the byte-compiled code
(from which I assume you run) has been corrupted.  Have you tried
doing a byte-recompile-directory on the GNUS stuff.  This should be
able to fix any corruption.

BTW, I run Emacs 18.57.22 (and Emacs 19) and GNUS 3.13; NNTP 3.10.
