M-x load-library org-element.el 3. do what you do to make emacs freeze 4. call on the cmd-line ,---- | kill -s usr2 4352 `---- (get the PID with 'ps -e | grep emacs') or, equivalently (?) ,---- | pkill --signal usr2 emacs `---- 5. study/copy/paste/send *Backtrace* buffer from (not frozen anymore) Emacs -- cheers, Thorsten
