>> I'm using TRAMP to access a remote directory. The remote server is running FreeBSD 6.3 and I'm connecting with the 'scp' mode. When I type in a partial path and try to tab-complete, e.g: /hostname:/path/to/file/file<tab>, Tramp goes off and tries to fetch the completion list. (This only happens when there is more than one possible completion.) I see the window partially re-draw (i.e. vertical scrollbars change, as if to split into two to show the completion list. The minibuffer continues to display "Making Completion List...", I get a spinny-beachball-of-death, and the process starts to use a lot of memory and CPU.

>> I was able to reproduce this with customizations off, but not with Aquamacs -Q.
If it doesn't happen with "Aquamacs -Q", there must be a configuration
which results in that effect. Could you try to test with "Aquamacs -Q",
and add the smallest configuration snippet which provokes the error? We
could analyze then that configuration.
>> I have several backtraces (by attaching to the running process) from different times this has happened, but no symbols.
Unfortunately, those backtraces don't tell something which would explain
the problem.
>> Thanks
