A simplest test case is like:(describe-property-list (list 'syntax-table lisp-mode-syntax-table))evaluating this Elisp _expression_ will hang with 100% CPU usage.On Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 10:22 PM, Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> wrote:> From: Peter Wang <ptr.wang@gmail.com>

serve as a beginning of a test for our test suite.
