Very strange. Just tried with emacs -Q, org up to date from git, and it
still doesn't work for me. Actual contents of file are:
#+begin_src org
,#+macro: title This is the actual title
,#+title: @@latex:\fbox{@@ {{{title}}} @@latex:}@@
,* heading
this is some text.
#+end_src
The backtrace, after waiting a little bit, is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

I am not surprised that there is an infinite loop given that title is
being replaced by something that includes the title macro? Or am I
misreading the backtrace?
Interestingly, although I have updated org and the log says that 8 hours
ago you created the 9.1.8 release, the org version is still 9.1.6.
In any case, no worries as simply changing the macro name (& subsequent
use) to titlecontents or similar does the job.
thanks,
eric
