Eli (and Emmanuel), your answers are *unsatisfactory*. The bug Hongyi is
reporting has afflicted emacs as long as I can remember (15-20
years). It has nothing to do with vscode per se: to confirm, I opened my
.newsrc.eld file, generated by gnus. Incremental search caused emacs to
crash.

Are your answers to this problem: don't use gnus, it makes no sense; or,
use vi?
