#1 max-lisp-eval-depth exceeded in emacs 20
Hello -
From the archives I can see that other folks have
reported the same problem. Here's a copy of the output
of tramp-debug and backtrace, in case it is of use to
anyone. (I went ahead and upgraded to emacs-21, and
tramp now works perfectly. It's just what I needed -
many thanks!)
I'm using emacs 20.7.2 on Debian potato, and I get
max-lisp-eval-method and max-specpdl-size errors when
attempting to connect using any ssh related mode.
(Haven't tried any others.) Increasing the size of both
variables changes nothing, until some value which is
between 10,000 and 100,000 beyond which emacs crashes.
The attached backtrace text file was taken while
attempting to open an existing file on the remote
machine. The output of debug is below:

I think this has been fixed in 2.86. Please
try the current version.
