It took me days to reproduce this error (by putting `(setq debug-on-error t)` into my init file and forgetting about the bug until the error resurfaced), but I've finally managed to catch its backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Stack overflow in regexp matcher") looking-at("[ ]*\\(\\S-+\\)\\(.*[ ]+::\\)?\\([ ]+\\|$\\)") org-list-item-body-column(1297) org-indent-add-properties(# 93050 (0 2 0)) org-indent-initialize-buffer(# (0 2 0)) org-indent-initialize-agent() apply(org-indent-initialize-agent nil) timer-event-handler([t 0 0 200000 t org-indent-initialize-agent nil idle 0]) The easiest solution to this would be probably a rewrite of the faulty regexp to not backtrack as much. 93050 is `(point-max)` in the file, the marker does not point to any buffer and does therefore not have any inspectable position.
