I tested your code and it works in my environment.

The character unicode #x6c0 is properly displayed
and emacs24 does not hang.

So, I think bug#11003 can be considered closed.

But, for my benefit (and perhaps others) perhaps
you can describe what was special about that
one character and that one font. Were there other
characters that were also problematic?
Why was this not a problem in emacs23 and how/when did
it enter emacs24? ...

Thank you for having fixed this bug.

...Mohsen
