I also still experience semi-regular Emacs infloops, particularly when
editing clocking entries manually (with the arrow keys), in the LOGBOOK
drawer. It's quite often in such a situation, though not 100%
reproducible.

Unluckily, these infloops are not stoppable via C-g, as it seems to
occur in portions of code where "quit" is inhibited (see recent comments
from Stefan).

Current environment:

- GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-06-15 on LEG570

- Org-mode version 8.2.7 (release_8.2.7-1119-gfcc51c/) -- though I'll
  update right now!

Best regards,
  Seb
