I got it too! Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Thanks to those who pointed me to describe-variable and debug-on-error. I feel like I'm a better emacs user now. After increasing max-lisp-eval-depth, I eventually got the error to change slightly to: | File mode specification error: (error "Variable | binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size") Unfortunately, we won't be able to generate a backtrace, because normal-mode uses condition-case to trap the error from the call to the major mode function. I'm going to take my problem to the ntemacs-users list. Thanks again for everything, folks.
