Re: Reports 'Scan error' over and over and can become unresponsive

Michael,

Fantastic! It works, and it's responsive now. Thank you.

I'm having a strange issue where it doesn't work most of the time in my regular init.el. After a bit of experimentation (putting messages in the patched function), it seems that sometimes it's replacing the builtin function with the patched version and sometimes not. I don't understand what's going on, but it's obviously nothing related to this bug.

Great, so this is solved.

Good point. The customization shall be saved only when needed. I've
reworked the patch, see appended.
