In particular, commit > 5f01af6c8e almost certainly is involved. > [=E2=80=A6] 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 :-)).
