Description Morten Welinder 2004-01-27 19:21:58 UTC 
With path=="." and model->root_path=="/", I don't seem to be getting any
progress in find_and_ref_path and it ends up calling itself with the same
arguments recursively.

This arose deep down in the call chain from trying to call
gtk_file_chooser_set_filename for a file chooser.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-01-27 23:49:39 UTC 
Morten, should we close this as invalid after our discussion on irc?
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2004-01-28 02:00:09 UTC 
No.  At the very least, it should become a doc bug for the
_set_filename function.  It's a bit surprising that non-absolute
filenames can cause such loops.
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2004-01-28 23:05:27 UTC 
Infinite recursion in passing a non-absolute filename is 
certainly not acceptable, even if documented.

 g_return_if_fail (g_path_is_absolute(), ...) 

would be the minimum we need to do here.
Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-01-30 18:27:53 UTC 
Fixed on CVS.
