Is there > a way to debug this situation? Can you interrupt it using `C-g'? If so, try this: M-x set-variable RET debug-on-quit RET t RET Then hit `C-g' when it freezes and see what is happening in the debugger (e.g. see what function was executing). If you think you've found a bug, use `M-x report-emacs-bug', providing your recipe. You might also try bifurcating (recursively) your init file and libraries it loads, i.e., do not load/invoke some of the code you normally do, to see which code might be causing the problem.
