Subject: bug#17881: 24.4.50; decoding by emacs-mule hangs up

Hi,

Recently an old program that uses the `emacs-mule' coding system
hangs up.  Encoding seems ok, but decoding doesn't seem to return.
To reproduce this, please try:

(decode-coding-string "\222\244\242" 'emacs-mule)

This should return the Japanese letter "あ".
(Worse, killing the Emacs process is the only way to stop it on
 Cygwin because of bug#14553 -- "C-g doesn't break inf-loop".)

Thanks.
