Thanks for the advice from Eli Zaretskii
( https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25203#11 )

I think I fixed one breakage of cjk-enc.el with emacs 25. It is doing a "percentage progress report"
for any sizeable input. With the following change:

--- a/utils/lisp/emacs/cjk-enc.el
+++ b/utils/lisp/emacs/cjk-enc.el

         (if (> (- (point) last-pos) 1000)

               (setq last-pos (point))
-              (message "Converting: %2d%%"
-                       (/ (* 100 (point)) (point-max)))))

         ;; Advance to the next character and loop.
         (forward-char 1))

 I could get emacs 25 to run cjk-enc.el correctly to process Thai tis620 and mule encoded inputs now.

I still can't process Big5 input correctly - but thanks, the crash is gone -, Big5 input
seems to be sensitive to LANG/LC_*.
The original poster (not fully specified LANG/LC_*=zh_TW.Big5 ) can run it with 24.x but
I (LANG/LC_*=en_GB.UTF-8) can't currently beyond 22.x. I think I was able with 23.x ;
some some of the sensivity of  cjk-enc.el to LANG/LC_* needs looking /documenting at better.
