Hi,
An update: I started emacs with the increased stack on Monday and have been
working as normal since then except that I've been searching for e-mail a
bit more often.
Today (Thursday), emacs crashed on me again when I was searching for e-mail.
Observations:
- A few minutes before it started crashing I got a spinning beach ball for
a few seconds while composing an e-mail.
- The crash took much longer this time. I didn't time it, but maybe in the
order of 10-15 minutes.
- During this time I observed what I could think of through the Activity
monitor:
-- Emacs was consuming 100% CPU (of one CPU).
-- It was eating memory at a rate of 5 MB every other second
-- "Faults" and "UNIX system Calls" increased at a steady rate, but I have
no idea where they started from or what is normal behaviour...
Now, I am going to reduce the stack size again to force the issue and
update to HEAD. Let's see if that makes any difference.
/Mikael
