I'm glad you fixed it and are about to release the fixed version. May I suggest that you add to the code a global counter of how many times database (re-)generation was attempted and stop trying if it reaches, say 3. This way, future similar bugs would not trigger an endless loop. (Interestingly enough, on my Linux machine, I rapidly got a stack overflow, while on the windows (virtual) box, I had to kill the process after a few minutes.) > I wounder why > everyone is encountering it just now (this is like the fifth report) > though the bug have been there for ages. > The bug happens only when there is no name database at all, so it doesn't happen if you used a previous version of luaotfload. It happens only on new installations and when you remove all cache files. Maybe a lot of people are either trying it for the first time or using a new installation? Manuel.
