Hi,
I've just noticed that I get an infinite loop when importing csv tables
into Org-mode tables. For example calling
(org-table-convert-region (point-min) (point-max) '(4))
from inside of a simple text file containing the following
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1,2,3
1
2
3
5
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
results in an infinite loop. The attached patch fixes this issue [1],
however it seems weird that this would just surface now, given that the
code in question has been in the repo since last fall

| Correctly interpret CVS tables with quoted fields

| The csv parser was very primitive, ignoring quoted fields. This is

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Should I go ahead and apply this
patch?

Subject: [PATCH] org-table: fix infinite loop in table importation
* lisp/org-table.el (org-table-convert-region): don't continue csv
importation which the point catches the end, this fixes an infinite
loop which was caused by the (point) never catching up with the
"end" marker
