23.0.50; TLS infinite loop

23.0.50; TLS infinite loop

[Leo]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This bug takes Gnus and a Gmail account to reproduce.

I am using Gnus 5.110007 from CVS (2007-09-10) and tls.el is from Emacs.

You need to use openssl to see this problem. So first,
(setq tls-program '("openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2"))

(setq mail-sources
      '((pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
	     :port 995
	     :user "sdl.web@googlemail.com"
	     :password "test")
        ))

Make sure that there is at least one new mail in that account.

Now try to retrieve new mail in "misc.mail" by "M-g". You can see that a
message like "Retrieving message 1 of 1 from pop.gmail.com..." will
display in the echo area for good and Emacs is frozen until you type
"C-g" to stop it.

I tried to edebug `pop3-retr' and found out it hangs at
(pop3-read-response process) at the beginning of the function.

[BTW, using gnutls is even more problematic. I have reported but no one
is fixing it.
http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/thread=8526]

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/packages/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Are they different? I only know about emacs 22 and there tls.el is
exactly the same as in the gnus trunk.

So, what about edebugging pop3-read-response then?

I still don't understand what makes you so sure that this is a bug in
tls.el. Honestly, try to debug pop3.el. Could it just be, for instance,
that Gmail doen't send \r\n, as expected, but just \n or something of
the sort. You should see what happens wen stepping through
pop3-read-response.

Good luck,

Elias

But there is not reason for Emacs to hang because Gmail doesn't send
\r\n.

    \r\n.

I agree we should fix Emacs not to hang.
The question is, how to do that.
Can you find out WHERE Emacs hangs?
Try (setq debug-on-quit t), then making it hang, then
typing C-g.

Yes.

I tried to edebug `pop3-retr' and found out it hangs at
(pop3-read-response process) at the beginning of the function.

Leo, can you load pop3-read-response interpreted and step thru it
to see precisely where and why it hangs?

I step thru pop3-read-response and it is an infinite loop for me.

Good.  Can you show the loop that fails to exit?
Can you figure out why it does not exit?

The following part of `pop3-read-response' is infinite loop because `(not
(search-forward "\r\n" nil t))' is t all the time.

      (while (and (memq (process-status process) '(open run))
		  (not (search-forward "\r\n" nil t)))
	(pop3-accept-process-output process)
	(goto-char pop3-read-point))
