Subject: 31.0.50; Infloop in multi-isearch-read-files
Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:03:00 +0200

Hello,

depending on the user's settings and environment it is possible that
`multi-isearch-read-files' never terminates because the `string-equal'
test used to compare file names compares expanded and not expanded
names.  This test succeeding is required for the loop to stop.

We should use a more sensible method similar to other places we recently
changed.

Michael.
