Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/25.0.50 (gnu/linux) |
commit 200c2b10faf298bf65e8b6dbd0cb9ef00b2f95d6 made inotify be
preferred to gnotify.
That has shown that there's something amiss in our inotify
support: my emacs now spams me with
"Error while trying to read file system events"
whenever I run Gnus, making it unusable.

Robert
