I do not see why global-auto-revert-mode should increase the probability of Tramp being recalled recursively. It certainly guarantees that Tramp will be called very often. global-auto-revert-mode runs by default every five seconds and invoking Tramp on a slow connection (like mine) can easily take more than five seconds. I believe that I will put in a user option allowing to disable reverting of remote files by global-auto-revert-mode. If one has a slow connection, it just causes too much trouble, regardless of whether it is responsible for this crash. What is the value of Vtimer_list and Vtimer_idle_list? Do: (gdb) p Vtimer_list (gdb) pr (gdb) p Vtimer_idle_list (gdb) pr (gdb) p Vtimer_list $8 = -1466641304 (gdb) pr ([]) (gdb) p Vtimer_idle_list $9 = 675044336 (gdb) pr nil That does not seem right. Could this data have been corrupted? Maybe I am misunderstanding this. Several timers and idle-timers should have been active. Sincerely, Luc.
