Hm... strange values (dead frame?) in Vframe_list may be a reason.

Next time when it's get stuck, attach gdb and examine:
1) `frame' arg of next_frame;
2) each entry in Vframe_list, like this:

(gdb) call debug_print (Vframe_list)
(#<frame emacs <at> localhost 0x102d390>)
(gdb) p *(struct frame *)0x102d390
$1 = {header = {size = 4611686018477891605}, name = {i = 12705553}, icon_name = {i = 10920482}, title = {i = 10920482},

    17188581}, face_alist = {i = 19032150}, menu_bar_vector = {i = 42561837}, buffer_predicate = {i = 10920482}, buffer_list = {i =
    19028102}, buried_buffer_list = {i = 10920482}, tool_bar_window = {i = 10920482}, tool_bar_items = {i = 14190525},

  cost_calculation_baud_rate = 19200, alpha = {-1, -1}, gamma = 0, extra_line_spacing = 0, background_pixel = 16777215,
  foreground_pixel = 0}

In particular, if you find the frame with zero f->terminal pointer,
we have dead frames in the game, which is definitely wrong.
