archiving tasks breaks emacs

archiving tasks breaks emacs

Hi,

I'm a new emacs user,  running emacs 22.3_0 , org 6.21b and remember
2.0 on osx, emacs installed from macports and everything else from
upstream. I'm following this tutorial
http://www.newartisans.com/blog/2007/08/using-org-mode-as-a-day-planner.html
and my todo.org example is attached along with my .emacs (only the
orgmode relevant part).

After marking one of the tasks as DONE I wanted to test the archiving
feature. Setting ARCHIVE tag works just fine but if I try to save to
an archive fail (C-c C-x C-a) emacs immediately freezes and top shows
it's taking up all the CPU:

43537 emacs       96.7%  5:12.23   1    15     63 9040K   364K    12M    26M

it won't ever come down and I have to kill it.

The directory Documents/orgmode/archive exists and is empty.

any idea what the problem could be? If anybody can provide some
directions I could do more debugging.

Urm, I've "resolved" this. I've spent the last hr customizing my org
settings and for whatever reason it now works fine, so there must have
been some kind of setting that conflicted with it, I might try later
to put back things as they were when I sent my initial email and try
to comment stuff out and see if I can find the exact problem.

btw, it was C-c C-x C-z, not C-a and talking about this in irc it
seems I wasn't clear enough to describe the failure mode: C-g or C-z
or anything else wouldn't do anything, all input appeared to be
ignored.

thanks

Hi Spike,


I would be interested in the solution. I faced a similar problem when
trying to publish the Worg-Site locally for testing.

The same behaviour (hanging, CPU usage) emerged, when publishing
the files under Worg/org-tutorials/org-R/. Files with big tables in
it. I couldn't find anything special in the files and suspected my
CVS-emacs and a memory problem. But you never know... my org setup is
more than one year old partially.



Thanks,

   Sebastian
