From: Tom Tromey <tom <at> tromey.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 26.1.50; "s" in gnus *Group* error: "eieio-override-prin1: Apparently circular structure being printed" Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 08:23:59 -0600
I am using Gnus in Emacs 26. When I "s" in the *Group* buffer, I sometimes get this error: eieio-override-prin1: Apparently circular structure being printed I got it again today, so I enabled debug-on-error and got this stack trace. I can't always reproduce this, but once gnus gets into this state it seems to be stuck. Last time, IIRC, I worked around it by removing the registry and killing Emacs.
