[BUG] Conflict between Org hyperlink and auto-complete (I think) [9.6 ( @ /home/dsmasterson/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think there is a conflict between Org hyperlinks and auto-complete.
Specifically, when I tried to create a hyperlink of the form
"[[*section][section]]", Emacs would go into some infinite loop just
after I typed the first ']' and I'd have to kill Emacs (sometimes with
'-9'), I think auto-complete popped up just after typing the '*', so I
think auto-complete was scanning what I was typing and crashed when I
got to the ']'.  So, this could be a problem with auto-complete?

Not yet sure how to minimize my setup to build a reproducible case or
further debug this, but I thought I'd get the bug out to others who
might know better.
