Re: emacs dumps core using gnus

[Richard Stallman]

    Dave Love posted to g.e.bugs that the Emacs configure script issues a
    message warning the user to carefully check the version of the ungif
    library before linking it in when building Emacs. I think that post
    is realted to this issue.

I don't think that will work, because users won't read the message.

    For future consideration, however, we can ask the developers of the
    ungif library (and other libraries that Emacs can be linked with)
    that future versions should include improved versioning information.

That seems like a good idea.  Who wants to do it?
