Generating agenda endless-loop

Generating agenda endless-loop

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

My agenda generally works. However, sometimes, by working with Emacs
I get to the "status" where I can not re-generate the agenda: it is
in an endless loop with 100% of its Emacs-CPU-core. I can quit by
pressing M-g. After re-starting Emacs, it works again without
modifying my Org-files or the Emacs configuration.

Here is a profiler CPU report after I quit the endless loop for
about a minute or so:

Do you have any suggestion how I can check this out any further or
get rid of this behavior?



GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of
2014-01-01 on gkar, modified by Debian

Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1062-g0e303a) ... I got this
issue since a couple of months with various Org-versions.

It might be useful to M-x toggle-debug-on-error and try the agenda
command again: if it gets stuck in the loop again, a C-g will produce a
backtrace that might shed some light.
