"It hangs" is not exactly a unique set of symptoms.

Yes. I fail to see the relevance though.

This takes it back to the state in was in in Emacs 24.3, so if you think

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712974

is the same issue, this cannot be the right fix.



(Somebody probably needs to fix 712974 in the emacs-24 branch, else
Emacs 24 seems unlikely to ever get out of Debian unstable. Although
there is other trivia stopping that happening and no sign of anyone
wanting to apply any patch anyway.)
