Subject: bug#79478: 31.0.50; One to two minute hangs
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 15:48:46 +0100

For the past week or so my pgtk, native comp Emacs has been hanging for
a minute or so at a time, sometimes.

Usually my other Emacs instance running gdb hangs in the same way at the
same times so I haven't been able to get a backtrace, but the gdb Emacs
didn't so I was able to get a backtrace:

 0 in CHECK_STRING of /home/swhitton/src/emacs/primary/src/lisp.h:1596
 1 in Fstring_equal of fns.c:351
 2 in assoc_ignore_text_properties of buffer.c:473
 3 in Fget_buffer of buffer.c:490
 4 in Fget_buffer_create of buffer.c:588
 5 in message_dolog of xdisp.c:12205

12 in cmd_error_internal of keyboard.c:1042
13 in cmd_error of keyboard.c:1010

18 in recursive_edit_1 of keyboard.c:749
19 in Frecursive_edit of keyboard.c:832
20 in main of emacs.c:2629

If I let it continue a bit and then interrupt again it's similar:

 0 in __memrchr_avx2 of ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memrchr-avx2.S:89
 1 in find_newline of search.c:910
 2 in scan_newline of search.c:974
 3 in message_dolog of xdisp.c:12317
 4 in message_log_maybe_newline of xdisp.c:12165
 5 in Fcommand_error_default_function of keyboard.c:1088
 6 in F68656c702d636f6d6d616e642d6572726f722d636f6e66757361626c652d73756767657374696f6e73_help_command_error_confusable_suggestions_0
 7 in funcall_subr of eval.c:3246
 8 in funcall_general of eval.c:3121
 9 in Ffuncall of eval.c:3174
10 in cmd_error_internal of keyboard.c:1042
11 in cmd_error of keyboard.c:1010
12 in internal_condition_case of eval.c:1686
13 in command_loop_2 of keyboard.c:1163
14 in internal_catch of eval.c:1370
15 in command_loop of keyboard.c:1141
16 in recursive_edit_1 of keyboard.c:749
17 in Frecursive_edit of keyboard.c:832
18 in main of emacs.c:2629

The commonality each time is a call to a very long function with name
containing "_help_command_error_confusable_suggestions".

While this is going on Emacs shows up at 90--100 CPU% in top(1).
