[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Opening an IMAP server in gnus.  Curiously, this doesn't happen in an
emacs started cleanly, so I'm not really sure what's going on, but this
backtrace ought to help

This bug should be closed; it is due to mis-written advice that I  
added to accept-process-output.  If anything needs to be fixed in  
emacs, the docs for that function ought to be explicit that the MSECS  
parameter must be integral (not floating point).

Actually, it shouldn't be used, as explained in the docstring:

   The millisec argument is obsolete and should be avoided.
