[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

If I set in  my .emacs file: 
(setq LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file `LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-TeX)
I get the following problem with C-c C-m includegraphics: After asking for the options it hangs and after a minute or so, it displays the error message: 

TeX-search-files: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

I used setenv to try several variants for TEXINPUTS, but always with the same result (also if I leave the TEXINPUTS variable empty).

Auctex version: 11.90.2.2017-07-25
TexLive Version 2015.20160320-1ubuntu0.1 (on ubuntu 16.04)

That doesn't occur for me.  I added `(setq LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file
`LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-TeX)' to my init file and tried C-c C-m
includegraphics RET width=\linewidth RET.  After emacs finished
gathering all the possible file names for completion (it takes a while,
not a real hang), it asked filename to include.  I answered with test
RET and the LaTeX command \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{test} was
inserted in the emacs buffer as expected.

I'm using AUCTeX 11.91 and Emacs 25.2 on FreeBSD 11.1.

Could you provide more detailed information so that we can examine the
problem?  Please include the output of M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET and
sample file which triggers the error.  Also, the backtrace obtained by
enabling debug-on-error option as described on
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/FAQ.html
would be helpful.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

No further comments, therefore I'm closing this report.

Best, Arash
