Thanks for the pointer. There are certainly timers involved in the code that runs when I get the hangs; I'll review it and see if that is where the problem lies.

However, I am not sure exactly what to look for. Or, more precisely, what is the undefined behaviour in js2-mode that you complain about it bug 12326?

On a side note, I see that only a few timer functions are described in the elisp manual. It appears one has to read timer.el to find out how timers work at a lower level. Or did I miss something?

- Harald
