- Hi all,
-
- I have been using the new byte compiler viz.
-
- ;; By Jamie Zawinski <jwz@lucid.com> and Hallvard Furuseth <hbf@ulrik.uio.no>.
- (defconst byte-compile-version "2.04; 5-feb-92.")
-
- for quite a while now with no trouble.
-
- I tried replying to an article in GNUS
-
- version 3.14.1
-
- today and discovered that the compiler had created almost
- empty ".elc" files for
-
- gnusmisc gnuspost and gnusmail
-
- e.g. gnusmisc.elc

-
- should be lots more here
-
- All the others were fine. The old byte compiler continued
- to compile them fine as well as all the others. I haven't
- seen this behaviour with the new compiler before at all.
-
- Any ideas anyone?
