I'm using my distribution-supplied Emacs and I don't want to
change anything major for my real-life setup (prior to my
distribution forcing me).
But the error made me think about why I had enabled the re-
gistry in the first place, and I didn't come up with a good
reason, so I disabled it and am no longer directly affected
by this bug (and have a few GBs of memory more, and Gnus
starts and quits in seconds instead of minutes :-)).
