A quick update: This error is preventing me from doing most things with org-mode, including using capture. So I customized the variable Bernt referred to instead of putting it in my init file. Still get a recursion error. So I upped 'max-specpdl-size' and 'max-lisp-eval-depth' to huge values. Emacs chokes and dies when calling the agenda or when calling org-capture. I'm going to go run errands with a hand-written list. :-D Thanks in advance for any more help. I'll play around with it more tonight.

Nick NIck, thanks for your thorough reply. I thought having ~ in my org path might have been triggering it, but it isn't. I've reduced my org-agenda files down to just one, tasks.org, which live in org in my dropbox folder. This folder is symlinked to ~/org for ease-of-use. I enabled debug-on-quit and tried looking at the backtrace while the agenda was hanging. Somewhere along the way, many lines before the error occurs, ~/org is *correctly* translated as /Users/jeffreyhorn/Dropbox/org. The error is occurring immediately after org prepares buffers (the org files). The last few lines of the backtrace are: org-agenda(nil) call-interactively(org-agenda nil nil) I'll try moving the agenda file to my home directory and see what happens. (interlude) OK. I created a very simple two line org file with a single todo and placed it in my home directory. Starting a new emacs session and visiting the file is enough to trigger the error. Visiting a buffer of another type (text for instance) *also* produces this error. -- Jeffrey Horn Graduate Lecturer and PhD Student in Economics George Mason University (704) 271-4797 jh...@gmu.edu jrhorn...@gmail.com http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/ ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Can you post the backtrace for this? Couldn't figure out how to copy the backtrace out of the shell. This laptop is goofy. Anyway, in the process, I forgot that sometimes you only see the last few lines of a backtrace. =M-= revealed that I was looking at a 7000 line backtrace from one call to the agenda buffer after starting emacs. The same hooks were running over, and over, and over... Two of the culprits looked something like this: (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgstruct) Removing those fixed the recursion error but introduced a new one. Something foobar'd my text-mode-hook (I suspect Aquamacs). After turning off functions that don't exist in terminal emacs on my system, I'm convinced that I need to figure out a way to keep two init files on my system without having to *maintain* two init files. Also try evaluating the following (fix the path of course): (file-truename /path/to/suspect/file) No backtrace on this one. Thanks to everyone for the help! I'll have fun re-configuring emacs when I get back from the holiday. Still wondering why orgstruct is causing recursion issues...
