Subject: vc-git-state(abbrev_defs) -> "Stack overflow in regexp matcher"
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:18:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877gy4ilfr.fsf@pobox.com> (raw)


I'm running "GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.20.1) of 2012-03-26 on cw-bkp0, modified by Debian" on Linux Mint
Debian Edition, `uname -rv` == 

3.0.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 24 02:24:44 UTC 2011

I have been

* for several months, versioning my ~/.emacs.d/ using git

* for several years, keeping my ~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs open in a buffer
  (for ease of adding entries)

* forever, using desktop to maintain buffers between sessions

Just now the box locked up after changing video after a presentation. I restarted the OS, then emacs, which produced
 
*Backtrace*

I

- removed abbrev_defs from my desktop file
- killed the emacs process
- started emacs normally

However I get the error above if I try to open abbrev_defs in a buffer
(`C-x C-f`). How to fix, or further debug?

TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
