Package: emacs Version: 23.2+1-4 Severity: normal
Executing the following code causes Emacs to go into infinite loop.
Simply run it behind the last paren with C-x C-e
(re-search-forward "^\\([a-z0-9.-]+\\)+[ \t]+\\([0-9]+\\)
+\\([a-z].*\\)") ==========
If the dash is taken awy from the "[a-z0-9.-]", this code does not
cause infinite loop:
(re-search-forward "^\\([a-z0-9.]+\\)+[ \t]+\\([0-9]+\\)
+\\([a-z].*\\)")
TEST ROWS FOR THE REGEXPS:
row-one 1234 rest of line
row2 1234 rest of line
TEST SETUP
emacs -Q --no-site-file <copy the re-search-forward lisp statements
into buffer> <copy the test rows into buffer> <Execute lisp
statements>
