skeleton-internal-1: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Launching GNU Emacs 23.0.0 with -Q I create a buffer Mist.csh and  
start to insert a case statement. I can enter an expression ($1) and  
a first pattern (*copy.tex) – or RET and max-lisp-eval-depth is  
exceeded. I can also enter simplistic input like 1 and 2 and the same  
error happens:

        (/usr/local/bin/emacs-23.0.0 -Q)
        For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.

        switch( $1 )
            case *copy.tex:
                
                breaksw
                <<<< here is the cursor

A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like  
to do. Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care  
to live.
