Definitely a bug: the trace shows a recursive definition. \ is defined in
terms of itself. Looking at core-spa.tex I cannot understand why this is
happening.
This is the output of \loggingall
\com #1->com\ #1
#1<-1
{the letter c}
{the letter o}
{the letter m}
\ ->\mathortext \normalspaceprimitive {\dontleavehmode \space }
\mathortext ->\ifmmode \expandafter \firstoftwoarguments \else
\expandafter \se
condoftwoarguments \fi
{\ifmmode: (level 1) entered on line 6}
{true}
{\expandafter}
{\else: \ifmmode (level 1) entered on line 6}
{\fi: \ifmmode (level 1) entered on line 6}
\firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1

#2<-\dontleavehmode \space
\normalspaceprimitive ->\
\ ->\mathortext \normalspaceprimitive {\dontleavehmode \space }
