Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. I tried with today's trunk
both on Windows and on GNU/Linux (the latter in a text-mode session),
and neither crashed.
Is this reproducible from "emacs -Q"? I started from that, then did
this:
M-: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "nntp.aioe.org")) RET
then "M-x gnus RET", then 'U' to subscribe to the group you mentioned,
then I typed RET to activate it, navigated to the offending message,
and finally typed RET on its summary line to display it. Should I
have done anything else?
A few comments regarding what I see in the backtrace:
> #0 0x00000000004d8c79 in char_table_ref (table=13078765, c=4194733)
This value is bogus, of course, and is the immediate reason for the
crash.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This tells me Emacs was scanning at this position:
> col = 43
> prev_col = 42
This is also strange, since the above position is at column 71, not 42
or 43.
