- I get this message from a bad interaction of ange-ftp and Ilisp;
- they both overload expand-file-name, and then seem to call each other
- infinitely, max'ing out the stack.
-
- If you (setq debug-on-error t) first, you should see this in the *Backtrace*.
-
- You will either see a function calling itself recursively, or all different
- functions. If the latter, you might only need to increase the value of
- max-lisp-eval-depth.
