Emacs hangs when converting gnus.texi

Emacs hangs when converting gnus.texi

[Jesper Harder]

Hi!

With recent Gnus snapshots ntEmacs hangs while trying to convert gnus.texi
to Info files, i.e. the command:

emacs -batch -q -no-site-file gnus.texi -eval %EMACSINFOHACK%
     -f texinfo-every-node-update -f texinfo-format-buffer -f save-buffer

But if I remove the -batch option everything works fine. I'm a bit
puzzled -- why does batch mode make Emacs hang on this task?

-- 
Cheers,
Jesper Harder

It works fine when I use make.bat.  Anyone else sees the problem?

It turned out that I had to increase max-lisp-eval-depth to make it
work. Does this limit work differently in batch mode?

Anyway, it works for me with this change:

I don't know.

It is in the CVS.
