Granted, I saw that, as I've skimmed through the backtrace you posted.
But having file-name completion in the backtrace does not yet mean the
recursive call I was talking about materialized. What would need to
have happened is that in the middle of searching some directory, some
Lisp would need to be called that invoked another search in some
(maybe other) directory. That is not a frequent occurrence.
