Re: Font locking bug - infinite loop

I've been whittling away my ~/.vm file until I could get this bug to

I've come down to a small bit of ~/.vm code that triggers the bug on
my system.
Your pattern
(setq vm-summary-font-lock-keywords
'(("Re:" 1 yellow t)))
Matches the first paren expression. (You don't have any)
Yes, the 1 should be a 0. It's actually correct in my original .vm file,
but it wasn't in my test file.
(setq font-lock-keywords vm-summary-font-lock-keywords)
I hadn't done this because my understanding was that font-lock mode
automatically picks this up. It was highlighting without my doing this,
anyway.
Anyway, I made these changes and I'm still getting the bad behavior. :(
I think it's related to the frame parameters, actually, because when I
take them out, it seems to behave better:
(setq vm-frame-parameter-alist
'((primary-folder (
(name . "vm")
(toolbar-shadow-thickness . 1)
(border-width . 3)
))))
Does the progress meter use any of the frame parameters?
