Subject: XEmacs 21.4 p16, seemingly endless, cpu-consuming loop in string-match?!
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 15:28:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87u0qibbw2.fsf@koldfront.dk> (raw)

  Hi.


Recently Debian unstable got new XEmacs packages. Since then, I think,
xemacs on my machine often enters a seemingly endless, cpu-consuming
loop when I enter a group or try to read an article.

When I kill the xemacs process (after say 5 minutes of burning cpu on
a P4 2.4 GHz), I always get a backtrace that starts with:

 Lisp backtrace follows:

   string-match("=\\?\\([^][- ()<>@,;:*\\\"/?.=]+\\)\\(?:\\*[^?]+\\)?\\?\\(B\\|Q\\)\\?\\([!->@-~ ]*\\)\\?=" "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Sj=F8gren?=")
   # bind (word)
   rfc2047-parse-and-decode("=?iso-8859-1?Q?Sj=F8gren?=")
   # (unwind-protect ...)

(The actual string is different, sometimes it is the From:, other
times it is the Subject: - it has, so far, always been encoded).

It doesn't happen every time I enter the same group/read the same
article, only sometimes. Which is, of course, rather troubling.

Any ideas?
