`ls -i` shows the inode number of the symlink, not of the target. So since /proc is on a different filesystem than your homedir (and more than that, inode numbers in /proc are dynamically generated on every lookup), the analysis does not make any sense.

08:07 <grawity> hmm codesearch.debian says it's Libreoffice
08:08 <grawity> and I don't have any Thunderbird langpacks
08:11 <grawity> I'm sorta convinced it's something to do with a package postinstall

08:11 <grawity> Mar 28 07:57:28 frost pacman[116170]: upgraded libreoffice-fresh (6.0.2-2 -> 6.0.2-3)
08:11 <grawity> drwxr-xr-x 2 grawity grawity 4.0K Mar 28 07:57 ***RECURSION DETECTED***/
08:11 <grawity> https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=RECURSION+DETECTED

08:16 <grawity> it might be not a postinstall; I think I had `libreoffice --quickstart` running in background during the upgrade
08:17 <grawity> it indeed seems to react to the upgrade, although this time it just SIGSEGV'd

I also had the same issue last night. Might be related to the broken hunspell: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59401 . I had it appear both on my file system, and also in the spell check config (which was very, odd).

Have you seen this issue again or can we assume it's fixed?
