Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: normal
Running M-x fill-paragraph (or Alt+q) causes Emacs to go into an infinite loop,
when I run this command on a new text file that contains only the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#
# This is the test suite for the dynreplace_process_image utility, which is a
userspace frontend to the dicer disassembler
#
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That's the text between the +++s, as inserred using the command M-x insert-file.
