Enabling Meta tags results in "edit page" never showing [#298523]

When I Enable Meta Tags (ie. nodewords), and try to edit a page, the browser hangs indefinetely.
I'm running Drupal 5.10 on a Linux host (PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch11) and mysql 5.

The modules I've got installed are:
acidfree color formfilter img_assist node path search404 tracker
admin_menu comment form_store jcarousel nodewords pathauto seo_checklist transliteration
aggregator contact forum jquery_update page_title path_redirect statistics upload
block drupal globalredirect jstools panels ping system urlify
blog excerpt google_analytics legacy panels_accordion poll taxonomy user
blogapi feedback help linktocontent panels_carousel profile throttle views
book filter image locale panels_tabs scheduler tinymce watchdog
cck find_path imce menu panel_style search token xmlsitemap

All in latest versions, as of today.

I realized the problem after having enabled almost all modules (except minor feature parts of some of them) - and then had to disable them all, and enable one at a time.
Meta tags gave me the problem, as soon as I enabled that.

I get no php errors and I've tried waiting for a timeout - but it never seems to happen (which could indicate that perhaps metatag adds some javascript which is causing the problem?).

I'll gladly do extra bug hunting if you can tell me what to try.

I will have to go through the list and try to find out the culprit (I'm sure it is not nodewords by itself :-)).

Unlikely candidates: color node path search404 admin_menu comment nodewords pathauto aggregator contact forum page_title statistics upload block drupal globalredirect ping system urlify blog legacy poll taxonomy user blogapi feedback help profile throttle book filter image locale watchdog menu search token cck.

That leaves: acidfree formfilter img_assist tracker form_store jcarousel seo_checklist transliteration jquery_update path_redirect jstools panels excerpt google_analytics panels_accordion linktocontent panels_carousel views panels_tabs scheduler tinymce find_path imce panel_style xmlsitemap.

Of these: panels (and panels_*) and views may pose a problem for view and panel pages, but not for node edit forms.

Modules that don't change the edit form and so should not interact: tracker seo_checklist path_redirect google_analytics scheduler xmlsitemap.

The js stuff can probably also ignored: jcarousel jquery_update jstools.

So what is left: acidfree formfilter (don't know it) img_assist (unlikely) form_store (don't know it) transliteration (don't know it) excerpt (may cause a problem when *viewing* the description, but not when editing) linktocontent (don't know it) tinymce (unlikely) find_path (don't know it) imce (don't know it).

The most probably culprit is acidfree. Can you if enabling acidfree when nodewords is enabled causes the problem? Or enabling nodewords when acidfree was already enabled?

Maybe try the same with imce.

This is just a quick reply... I hope to have more time in the weekend.

Now, if there is some subtle combination of modules that causes this problem... it may be hard to debug...

I had many problems with tinymce as well - and after applying this patch to it: http://drupal.org/node/288424 I can now enable nodewords/Meta tags again.
Why the two conflict (and if there's some third factor I just didn't notice/forgot) I don't know.
