Subject: bug#1787: 23.0.60; `concat' with longer strings aborts Emacs ungracefully
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 02:23:20 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090105012320.15DD9C24862@mt-computer.local> (raw)
On OSX and Ubuntu jaunty machines with 1 GB RAM, doing:
$ emacs -Q --eval "(let ((v \"x\")) (while t (setq v (concat v v))))"
aborts Emacs with the following backtrace:

Lisp Backtrace:
"concat" (0xbfffec90)
"setq" (0xbfffede8)
"while" (0xbfffeed8)
"let" (0xbffff008)
"eval" (0xbffff0b4)
"command-line-1" (0xbffff254)
"command-line" (0xbffff3e4)
"normal-top-level" (0xbffff500)
To me, throwing an error seems to be much preferable in this case.
