shr fails to display article (exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth)

shr fails to display article (exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth)

[Knut Anders Hatlen]

Hi,

I just got this spam mail that shr choked on. I know, I shouldn't spend
time reading spam, but... shr shouldn't choke either...

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'")
  (setq dom (cdr dom))
  (prog1 dom (setq dom (cdr dom)))
  (car (prog1 dom (setq dom (cdr dom))))
  (pop dom)
  (list (pop dom))
(...)

The full backtrace is huge. Pasted here for reference:

Are you running Gnus/shr uncompiled?  You can only do that semi-reliably
if you double `max-lisp-eval-depth', usually.

Right, shr.el doesn't seem to be compiled, and M-x byte-compile-file
does indeed fix the problem. Thanks! But shouldn't it be compiled
automatically when I run `make'?

D'oh! I had compiled Gnus with Emacs 23.2, so of course it didn't
compile shr.el. With Emacs 24 it compiles. Sorry about the noise.
