Apparently >something in the lastest bunch of maps (which do NOT include nm.1 so far) >is inconsistent with the Apr 25 version of u.usa.nm.1. I had the same problem and tracked it down to an infinite loop involving bcsinc (in u.usa.ca.1) and rt1 (in u.usa.nm.1). Since the NM map was not changed recently and that CA map arrived last night, I concluded that it was a problem with bcsinc. Sure enough, commenting the bcsinc entry out of the CA map solved the problem. However, I do not know exactly why the loop occurred. Can anyone explain?
