The error message information was great but doesn't help much
without also knowing what those lines contain.

My guess is that you capitalized the second occurrence of the word
"all", like this:

... <bar> tab All

You did that once before and it would explain the recursive error.

The second "all" is a Vim command. See ":help :all".

Please reply with at least the first few of the lines on which
errors were reported, such as lines 31-36 of
/Users/ericweir/.vim/vim-addons/taskpaper/syntax/taskpaper.vim.

Gary
