The command-line seemed to be operating normally.

What exactly is/are my project directories?

I attached to the running GUI instance `strace -f -e trace=stat -p 13368` and it has infinite repetitions of:

[pid 13436] stat("/home/rick/.wine/dosdevices/z:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone2/subsystem/thermal_zone0/device/subsystem/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:75/subsystem/devices/PNP0C0A:02", 0x7f7beb2796e0) = -1 ELOOP (Too many levels of symbolic links)

What's going on here?

Looks like a endless loop that is caused by parsing the files in your project directory. Do you possibly have any symbolic links?

Can you reproduce the problem with a completely fresh BaseX zip archive?
