Hi,

I sent this question to the Org list yesterday, so apologies for
crossposting, but it probably is more of an Emacs issue.

When trying to export my Org calendar in batch mode, I get the
following:

$ emacs /home/loris/org/gtd.org -batch -eval '(progn (package-initialize) (org-icalendar-export-to-ics))' --kill

Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

This is with Org-mode version 8.3.4 on Emacs 24.4.1.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Loris

Can you reproduce it without -batch? If so, it will be easier
to debug.

  yes moreover you might try the --no-site-file option if it
  works. I know that I encounter problem with all these initial
  files set by debian whose content is more or less not known.

  Sure if one of these files is absolutely needed to accomplish
  the task you want, you should try to launch only this one.

Thanks for the advice.  With the following (a minimal .emacs, no -batch
and --no-site-file), the calendar data are exported successfully:

  emacs --no-site-file -l .emacs_minmal /home/loris/org/gtd.org -eval '(progn (package-initialize) (org-icalendar-export-to-ics))' --kill

where .emacs_minmal just contains

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))

If I add the -batch flag, I get the error and no export takes place:

  emacs --no-site-file -l .emacs_minmal /home/loris/org/gtd.org -batch -eval '(progn (package-initialize) (org-icalendar-export-to-ics))' --kill
  Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

What else could I try to identify the problem?

Cheers,

Loris

find the unnecessarily recursive and make it iterative.
if the recursion is necessary, checkpoint state out of core.

What is the preferred way to deal with this error (which seems to
come up at random when I have a lot of buffers open).
