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

Found this problem while experimenting with the flx package
( https://github.com/lewang/flx ).

Put the two attached files somewhere on you load-path.

emacs -Q

eval this:

(require 'flx-ido)
(ido-mode 1)
(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq flx-ido-use t)


Now do C-x b for switching to another buffer. Once the list of
candidates is shown, press C-s (which would usually cycle to the next
candidate.) Emacs will start using 100% CPU and consuming memory at a
very quick rate. C-g makes Emacs responsive again.

flx developer reported that the bug is not reproducible on his Emacs
24.3.1.
