Package: quilt-el
Version: 0.63-8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I use quilt-mode and when I try to open a file through tramp
(eg. /su::/etc/init.d/something), I get an error "variable binding depth
exceeds max-specpdl-size"). Having achieved breaking emacs while on this
runaway recursion, I discovered it was in fact quilt that was the
culprit:
tramp-make-tramp-file-name("su" #("root" 0 4 (tramp-default t)) "debian"
"/.pc" nil)
tramp-sh-handle-expand-file-name(#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8 (tramp-default
t)) #("/su:root@debian:/etc/init.d/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
apply(tramp-sh-handle-expand-file-name (#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8
(tramp-default t)) #("/su:root@debian:/etc/init.d/" 4 8 (tramp-default t))))
tramp-sh-file-name-handler(expand-file-name #("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8
(tramp-default t)) #("/su:root@debian:/etc/init.d/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
apply(tramp-sh-file-name-handler expand-file-name (#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4
8 (tramp-default t)) #("/su:root@debian:/etc/init.d/" 4 8 (tramp-default t))))
tramp-file-name-handler(expand-file-name #("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8
(tramp-default t)) #("/su:root@debian:/etc/init.d/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
file-directory-p(#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))

apply(tramp-handle-file-accessible-directory-p #("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8

#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))

#("/su:root@debian:/.pc" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
tramp-file-name-handler(file-accessible-directory-p #("/su:root@debian:/.pc"
4 8 (tramp-default t)))
file-accessible-directory-p(#("/su:root@debian://.pc" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))

quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
quilt-find-dir(#("/su:root@debian:/" 4 8 (tramp-default t)))
While researching this, I found that this was in fact fixed in 2015! [1]
Quilt 0.63 is 3 years old now, please consider packaging 0.65.
