Eshell's "smart scrolling" functionality does not work at all with
21.3.50.
Eshell puts the function `eshell-smart-scroll-window' locally on
`window-scroll-functions'. Then, it tries to redisplay the window by
doing (recenter -1) whenever the window would ordinarily be scrolled.
`window-scroll-functions' is being called ad infinitum. Emacs is
partially locked, but enough C-g gets me to a point where I can
delete the Eshell buffer.
Anybody know when this might have changed?

Can you debug this? What code is calling what?
The only way to get to the bottom of things is to find out more facts
about the chain of events.

I have been trying, but with little success. Redisplay problems are
especially difficult to trace, because entering the debugger has a
tendency to provoke a redisplay, etc. I will try accumulating a
backtrace of each invocation in a non-redisplaying buffer.

window-scroll-functions is run from C code. You could put a
breakpoint at the places that call it, and that way you could debug
why it gets called. You could see if it is getting called recursively
or in a loop, etc.
