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 address@hidden mailing list.

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

Version 2.157 of bytecomp.el causes Gnus to fail with the following
backtrace:

Reverting to version 2.156 makes the problem go away.
