Recursive load of tramp makes my latest Emacs CVS snapshot build unusable

Recursive load of tramp makes my latest Emacs CVS snapshot build unusable

[Nordlöw]

Yesterday I recompiled my Emacs CVS. When I start it with all my add-
ons I get the following error every time I try to interactively access
a directory/file:

tramp-completion-file-name-handler: Recursive load: "/usr/local/share/
emacs/23.0.60/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/
lisp/emacs-lisp/debug.elc", "/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/lisp/net/
tramp.elc", "/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/usr/
local/share/emacs/23.0.60/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/usr/local/share/emacs/
23.0.60/lisp/net/tramp.elc"

I removed all my add-ons related to tramp but that didn't help.

This problem completely blocks all interactive file-system access
thereby rendering my Emacs completely unusable!

To make it even more complicated the problem goes away when I boot
without my settings (emacs -q).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

Check ~/.emacs! -q tells GNU Emacs not to load this file. So the  
cause for recursive loads must be in ~/.emacs.

The trigger is in .emacs, most likely (ido-mode 1).

The cause is a bug; most likely either in the change to net/tramp.el
of two days ago, or a sleeper in ido.el.

Workaround: use (add-hook 'term-setup-hook 'ido-mode) instead of (ido-mode 1).

(The bug has already been reported to the emacs-devel list.)

Nope.

I don't use ido-mode. Problem still occurs.
The annoying thing is that I don't get any stack-trace, that is "Enter
Debugger on Error" is active. The only hint I get is the error message
mentioned above.

However!, I have managed to temporarily solve the problem by putting
(require 'tramp) at the beginning of my .emacs.

See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/92957>. I'll work on it
tonight.

I stand corrected.

When you said "every time I try to interactively access a
directory/file", what did you mean? Find-file? dired?

I've committed a fix to the CVS repository.
