Error with org-store-link in gnus Article buffer

Error with org-store-link in gnus Article buffer

[Dale Smith]

I'm using org-mode 1.48 and a locally installed (in my $HOME) gnus 5.10.6 and
emacs 21.3.1 (whatever is on a FC3 box).  When I C-c l in an *Article* buffer,
I get this backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function (macro . #[(&optional number)
"xxxxxxxxxx" [number gnus-data-header gnus-data-find
(gnus-summary-article-number)] 
("/home/users/dales/src/gnus-5.10.6/lisp/gnus-sum.elc" . 106501)]))
  gnus-summary-article-header(3551)
  org-store-link(nil)
  call-interactively(org-store-link)

(There was something at the xxxxxxxx that prevented me from pasting here in
gmane)

Looks like some kind of macro being called as a function problem?  I don't know
much about emacs macros, but I'm thinking there might be some interaction
between the system gnus and the gnus I locally installed.

Anyway, I figured org needed to know the source of those macros, so I added a
(require 'gnus-sum) to the eval-when-compile expression.  It seems to work.

Oh, and the version number was wrong too.  Here is a diff:

Has anyone else seen this problem?

I cannot see how this can happen.  When in an article buffer in gnus, 
org-mode first creates the sumary with (gnus-article-show-summary).  
This function is defined in gnus-art.el, and gnus-art.el also contains 
(require 'gnus-sum).  So I cannot see how this bachtrace can exist, 
unless there is an installation problem with gnus.

Dale, maybe you can make a step-by-step example, starting from a fresh 
emacs, listing the exact keys needed to produce this bug?
