Dear zile -developers,

I'm running zile 2.3.9 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 on Intel hardware. I noticed a
following inconsistency with macro expansion. I hope this example helps
you catch the bug:

Program a macro to write "some_text" and try to run it n times:

C-x ( some_text C-x )

Run it:

C-x e
-> writes some_text once

C-u C-x e
-> writes some_text four times, the default

C-u 2 C-x e
-> writes some_text twice

The intermediate numbers tried...

C-u 22 C-x e
-> writes some_text 21 times

So far, everything works fine, but the following starts looping infinitely:

C-u 23 C-x e
-> writes some_text repeatedly, no possibility to end with C-g

and so with numbers larger than 23 (only couple of tries, though)

Best regards,
