The infinite loop occurs in Text::WrapI18N when po4a tries to report an error in the PO files. This can be fixed currently in po4a by: * fixing the POs * setting COLUMNS to another (high) number * enlarging the terminal * removing libtext-wrapi18n-perl (it's only recommended). I could reproduce the problem in WrapI18N::wrap() with the short test.pl attached, and I also proposes the attached patch to WrapI18N::wrap(). (A word should be placed on the next line if it fits on this line, but the leading header must be taken into account, thus $columns -> $columns - length $header) Best Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
