Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-27
Severity: normal

While using a \title tag and using a \and inside the body of the tag the
compiler enters an infinite loop after outputting some errors.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\title{text \and text}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
text
\end{document}

Compiling this code reproduces the bug.
