Yeah? This isn’t 1970. I have 32gb of ram and a 12 core cpu. It’s a bug. It should either parse the file (instantly, it’s 27kb) or it should at least stop after a few ms and tell me it’s lame and needs me to switch manually to another mode. I mean, given the 28.2 user experience, there is no opportunity to switch to fundamental mode because emacs was hosed. I don’t even think ctrl-g worked for me.

I don't understand. The infinite loop is reproducible, "pegging one
core" as he expressed it, using up one CPU core.

Maybe I switched applications with Cmd-TAB, or something else triggering
redisplay. Do a M-x or C-l.

I think no-one expects that. The bug is the uninterruptable loop or
whatever causes it.
