So we in three levels of tramp handlers and two levels of
accept-process-output, wait_reading_process_input, and timer_check.
I just installed a change to make wait_reading_process_input reentrant
which may or may not be relevant to this crash.
Apparently it is relevant of sorts.
Note that Lars Hansen has reports and backtraces of crashes using
Tramp _without_ global-auto-revert-mode being enabled. Maybe these do
not happen any more after your change. Mine definitely do not happen
any more but for strange reasons.
Before I visited one large file using Tramp-ssh, without problems.
Then visiting a second large file got an "Invalid base64 data" error
(just because it is the second file). Tried again. Crash.
Now when I visit one file using Tramp-ssh, Emacs freezes. In my
personal Emacs, I can still quit with C-g because I put in calls to
with-local-quit. In CVS Emacs, this is an outright freeze. My
with-local-quits do not help very much, because it refreezes 0-5
seconds later.
I can not check whether the crash still occurs after your changes,
because I can no longer carry out the recipe to produce the crash. I
wonder why I was able to do so _before_ your change. The cause for the
freezing bug seems obvious: It is now completely clear that
global-auto-revert-mode should not try to revert remote files over a
slow connection.
I plan to disable auto-reverting of remote files using
global-auto-revert-mode, with a user option to re-enable it for people
with fast connections that are permanently on-line. For other people,
there just seems to be too much ugliness involved. I believe I will
do this tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Luc.
