The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.emacs.gnus as well.

A Japanese XEmacs user reported to me that the ".newsrc.eld"
corruption problem only occurs when there are say newgroups containing 
non-ascii text... how dear, how did I get one of those.

Anyway removing the garbage newsgroup from ".newsrc.eld" by hand,
solved the problem for me.  Though the original (unlikely) bug still
stands in some sense, since the corruption to the file under
(save-buffer) is at a different place.


I have a feeling there is still coding-system related bugs in there
somewhere, since I have often been getting long strings of garbage in
gnus articles recently (often because of iso-latin-1 text I think).  I
intend to investigate that further later.
