bug#18572: unbalanced parentheses

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

Sorry for the late response; the bug report has been sitting in a part
of the bug tracker that nobody has looked at due to a misunderstanding.

I've now fixed this on the Emacs trunk.

That is alarming.  Has the misunderstanding been cleared up now
so that other bug reports won't go unnoticed this way?

Yes.  The misunderstanding was that bugs reported from Gnus were tagged
"gnus" only, and I was only looking at bugs tagged "emacs" or
"emacs,gnus".  I'm now going through two and a half years worth of
Gnus-only bugs.
