Subject: 25.0.50; global-auto-revert-mode and file-notify-error
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 10:50:21 +0200

Hi,

Recently I get the following error whenever I read mails with Gnus and
global-auto-revert-mode is on:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-notify-error "Error while trying
    to read file system events")

This is the complete backtrack.  I can try to dig further if necessary.

Thanks,
Rasmus
