error: Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth

error: Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth

[cvs user]

Hello,

in the past week or two, I have been getting this error from the cvs
gnu emacs:

error: Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth

cl-map-keymap: Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth


--debug-init does not provide useful info, and make maintainer-clean
etc does not help.  this seems to be not due to some specific part of
my .emacs file, but due to a combination of things that seem difficult
to identify.

anyone seen such a problem?

Yeah, I get the same error every time I try to reply to a mail while
being offline. I have no clue to what it can be though.

The sleaziest and easiest work-around for this is to set
max-lisp-eval-depth to a higher number near the top of your .emacs

I set mine to 300, and I haven't seen this error since.

this doesn't help, unfortunately...  I get an error message about some
other variable that's too small, and increasing that one does not help.

Please send the full backtrace, or error message you get.

Hi Mike,

so I managed to track the problem to the x-symbol package.  to
reproduce, install x-symbol and:

/usr/local/emacs/src/emacs -q --no-site-file -l ~/.emacs.debug&

where the .emacs.debug file is:
-------------------------------
(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d"))
load-path))
(defvar x-symbol-lisp-directory "~/.emacs.d/x-symbol/lisp/x-symbol")
(setq load-path (cons x-symbol-lisp-directory load-path))
(setq x-symbol-data-directory "~/.emacs.d/x-symbol/etc/x-symbol")
(load  "~/.emacs.d/x-symbol/lisp/x-symbol/auto-autoloads")
(x-symbol-initialize)
(eshell)
-------------------------
and the resulting *Messages* buffer is attached.  turning on debugging
on error, or using --debug-init switch does not result in any traceback
information, unfortunately...


here is the Messages buffer with the error message at the bottom

Loading mwheel...done
(/usr/local/emacs/src/emacs -q --no-site-file -l
/home/eli/.emacs.debug)
Loading tool-bar...done
Loading image...done
Loading tooltip...done

And setting debug-on-error and/or debug-on-quit?

(setq debug-on-error t)
==> break in the debugger every time an error messages would be displayed.

(setq debug-on-quit t) 
==> break in the debugger every time you type C-g.

(unless you're already in the debugger, with a *Backtrace* window open).

so if I comment out the (eshell) line, start emacs, set debug on error
and debug on quit, and then start eshell, I still get the same error
message, but no traceback.  try it...
