error when tty-coding-system is utf-8

[Miles Bader]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



The following error seems to occur fairly often when I use "emacs -nw"
with the terminal-coding-system set to "utf-8"; it generally _isn't_
repeatable -- if I simply retry the user command that triggered it, it
usually succeeds the second time (and invoking the offending lisp call
manually usually succeeds too).

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 5 19)
     utf-8-post-read-conversion(14)
     directory-files("/home/miles/" t "^\\.newsrc-slave-" t)
     gnus-master-read-slave-newsrc()
     gnus-group-get-new-news(nil)
     call-interactively(gnus-group-get-new-news)

It seems to most often happen in conjunction with Gnus.

Is there something else I can do to help track this down...?

Thanks,

-Miles
