Sorry to be such a newbie on that, but I'd understood I would have to type
`C-u C-M-x' (`edebug-defun') when on that function definition, right?

My problem is I can't access the definition, as all of Gnus is only present as
"byte-compiled" files, located in

    /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/

Is there a way, still, to debug the function, then, the way you intend it?

Great!  ;-)

Thanks for your (precious) help, anyway.
