(STA): ess-dialect=stata , buf=test.do 
(inf-ess 1): lang=STA, dialect=stata, tmp-dialect=stata, buf=test.do
(inf-ess 1.1): procname=stata temp-dialect=stata, buf-name=*stata* 
(inf-ess 2.0) Method #3 start=/tmp/ buf=*stata*
(inf-ess 2.1): ess-language=STA, ess-dialect=stata buf=*stata* 
(inferior-ess: waiting for process to start (before hook)
(inferior-ess 3): waiting for process after hook

I've tested this with emacs -q, running only the following
initialization code:

(package-initialize)
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives
      '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
        ("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
        ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")))
(require 'ess)

I have installed ESS from elpa.

If I hit TAB at the start of a line in a Stata do-file buffer, I get
this error:
Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’
If I debug, it seems ess-indent-line is calling itself.

Regards,

Brendan
