Here's the required info: Emacs version: 19.25.2 (Plain vanilla) Machine: SPARCstation 20 (Model 51), 32 MB RAM. O/S: Solaris 2.3 Problem: Emacs seems to go in a loop searching for a tag, taking up all available CPU time. The loop appears endless, however, I've only let it run slightly over 10 minutes. To Reproduce the problem: in some directory: 1. Create file test.c, contents: #define OK (0) 2. Create directories abc and def 3. In each of abc and def create a file called <directory name>.c, contents: #define <DIRECTORY NAME> (1) 4. In each of abc and def create a tags file: etags *.c 5. Back in the base directory, create a tags file which includes the tag files from abc and def: etags -i <full path>/abc/TAGS -i <full path>/def/TAGS *.c Now go into emacs and do a C-x C-f to find file test.c. Once found do a M-. ABC, this should work, now do M-. OK, at this point, my emacs session seems to go into the loop. If you need any additional information, do not hesitate to drop me a note at babineav@cognos.com.
