so far he's been unable to fix it. I'm not an elisp programmer
myself. Is there another Debian maintainer who could take a look at
it?

Kurt,
Here is a forward of a Debian bug. I know that you have already seen it, I
just forward it 'for the record'. Nobody offered help yet ...
I actually know of another, related, buglet: I always start my octave files as
#!/usr/bin/octave -q
and the space between octave and -q makes your wonderful octave-mode think it
should indent the line. Which is usually a good idea, but not here.
Cheers, Dirk

Subject: Bug#10114: octave: infinite loop in octave-mod.el
Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 14:23:44 -0400 (EDT)
Package: octave
Version: 2.0.5-2
I had a comment equivalent to this in some Octave code:
alpha=0; # a comment with a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong word
M-Q put emacs into an infinite loop. I killed the process from
another VT. The saved file showed that emacs continued to add new
lines without making any progress into the remaining text. Something
like this:
alpha=0; # a comment with a
#
#
#
[hundreds of lines omitted]
#
#
# loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong word
The bug is in /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp/octave-mod.el. I've notified
the author of the file, Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at>, but
so far he's been unable to fix it. I'm not an elisp programmer
myself. Is there another Debian maintainer who could take a look at
it?
