Subject: send-emacs-bug freezes

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In an Emacs -Q (current 23 CVS build, under NS) and also in Emacs -Q - 
nw, executing this:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (defun turn-on-longlines-mode () (longlines- 
mode 1)))

And then doing M-x report-emacs-bug RET leads to a freeze (non C- 
g'able in NS port at least) just after the subject line has been  
entered.

Note that longlines mode used to be in the menu, implemented using  
text-mode-hook, so I would recommend this be fixed before release...
