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

I compiled Emacs 21.2.95 without problems.  

However, I do experience a problem with Gnus (included in the
pretest).  When if fire up gnus with M-x gnus, I get the following
message:

Mail source error ((wrong-type-argument stringp nil)).  Continue? (yes or no)

I do not get this message with (non pretest) Emacs 21.2.

The relevant section in my .gnus is:

  (setq mail-sources '((imap :server "imap.cwi.nl" 
                             :port 993 
                             :user "lute" 
                             :stream ssl 
                             :authentication login 
                             :mailbox "INBOX" 
                             :predicate nil ; Get all mail in "INBOX".
                             :fetchflag "\\Deleted"
                             :dontexpunge nil
                             )))

I'll try to characterize the problem better in the next couple of
days.

Regards,

   Lute Kamstra.
