Do you see any pictures?  This bug has been around for awhile, I don't 
know why it decided to strike me now.

This is confusing.

Yup.  The crash is gone and the pictures show up.

Speaking of no-conversion still doing carriage control fiddling.
Someone just polluted Gnus 5.4.32 with two files containing MS DOS
CRLFs.  How come out of all possible ways to signal a problem, both
XEmacs and Emacs signal error by saying:
  !! End of stream ((#<buffer " *Compiler Input*">))

and

  !! End of file during parsing

A find-file on the files in question looked pretty normal, so why
doesn't the lisp reader get it right?
