Problems are: 1. The function lisp-mode-variables: GNUS calls this with one argument nil; Emacs defines this with no arguments; Therefore, an error is caused. I have changed the gnus.el to use this without arguments. 2. The variable emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table: Emacs doesn't define this. I setq lisp-mode-syntax-table to this in my .emacs file. The function definition of lisp-mode-variables was changed in GNU Emacs 18.50. I don't know about emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table. 3. The variable emacs-lisp-mode-hook: Emacs doesn't define this. I setq nil to this in my .emacs file. You don't have to worry about hook variables because the variables don't have to be defined. If it is not defined, it is simply ignored.
