Subject: 29.1/git latest; Multiple versions of Emacs on macos consistently
 crash when loading a 2-line Markdown file
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2023 23:49:46 -0600

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

The attached 2-line Markdown file consistently crashes Emacs 29.1 and
a recent Git build of 30. I have rebuilt all of my Emacs plugins
several times, uninstalled/reinstalled multiple versions of Emacs and
tree-sitter. I narrowed down the offending Markdown file from a much
larger file with `head` and `tail` that consistently crashes Emacs.
Using `cat` to look at the file in M-x shell is fine.

Error logs from Emacs 29.1 from https://emacsformacosx.com and Emacs
29.1 built with the Homebrew
https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus are attached.
Emacs configuration is here:

Thanks!

Do you have some kind or Markdown mode installed?  If so, which one,
and where can one be downloaded?  Because Emacs 29 doesn't have such a
mode bundled, and when I visit the file you attached, I see
Fundamental mode (and no crash).

So some additional information is missing from your report.  In
general, it is best to describe all the steps needed to reproduce the
problem starting from "emacs -Q" (and loading any optional packages if
needed by hand), including all the commands you need to type in Emacs.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.

Following your recommendations I was able to narrow it down to
tree-sitter. Disabling it solves the problem. I'll continue to
investigate, but this doesn't appear to directly be an Emacs bug.

Thanks!

Any news here?  Is this still an issue?

More information was requested, but none was given within 6 months, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
