But I thought that the > messages only would help you localizing the cause of the problem. The messages just say that Emacs is using up a lot of memory for some reason. Next time, please look at the memory footprint and also at the CPU usage, and if the latter is high (meaning that Emacs is looping somewhere), please attach the debugger and see where it is looping.
