Subject: 26.2; Infinite recursion in eshell/clear with em-smart
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 13:41:43 +0000

Hi all,

I encountered the following reproducible bug earlier today and, to my
knowledge, it has not yet been reported.  Here is the bug:

The `eshell/clear` command triggers an infinite recursion and prints
6,599 lines when em-smart mode is active.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Use the following config:

    (require 'eshell)
    (require 'em-smart)
    (add-hook 'eshell-mode-hook 'eshell-smart-initialize)

2) M-x eshell

3) Enter `clear` at the eshell prompt


Expected behavior:

The contents of the eshell buffer are scrolled by a single page, leaving
a blank window.


Actual behavior:

The contents of the eshell buffer are scrolled by 6,599 lines and the
message "Error during redisplay: (eval (mode-line-eol-desc)) signaled
(error "Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’")" is echoed.

Info from M-x report-emacs-bug is below.

Best regards,
Daniel
