Package: emacs23 Version: 23.1+1-5 Severity: normal In Emacs 23, if you try to visit or save a file which is not under Mercurial version control, but one of its parent directories contains a directory named '.hg' that is not a well-formed Mercurial repository, the vc-hg module will throw one of these errors:
Error: (args-out-of-range 0) Error: (args-out-of-range "" 0) Error: (error Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth') File load appears to fail under these conditions (the buffer actually has been created, but is not in the proper mode; repeating the visit-file operation causes it to go through). File save succeeds, but dings at you. Every single time. I discovered this because I had, without really thinking about it, created a directory named ".hg" at the top level of $HOME to store Mercurial extension modules in. I've got a workaround (change that to some other name) but this still strikes me as a bug that should be fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages emacs23 depends on: ii emacs23-bin-common 23.1+1-5 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libasound2 1.0.21a-1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgif4 4.1.6-8 library for GIF images (library) ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.2 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-15 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libm17n-0 1.5.4-1+b1 a multilingual text processing lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libotf0 0.9.10-1 A Library for handling OpenType Fo ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.40-1 PNG library - runtime ii librsvg2-2 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.9.2-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime emacs23 recommends no packages.
