Subject: bug#34260: 27.0.50; Emacs randomly hangs during redisplay
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 15:32:29 -0500

I have updated to the latest master a while ago and since then my Emacs
have been acting weird and becomes unusable.  I tried to turn on
debug-on-quit but I Emacs is always inside redisplay when I hit C-g.
Almost always the stacktrace has somewhere a call to `message` which in
turn calls `redisplay` and it just hangs and consumes 100% of the cpu.
I tried to debug the proces using gdb and found out that Emacs is always
inside `redisplay_internal' when I stop it using `kill -TSTP emacs'.

Worth noting that this problem isn't predictable and is hard to
reproduce.  It also might be related to EXWM and commit `e567ac1495'.

I reverted my local copy of Emacs to '470082de55: List lengths are
always fixnums now' and haven't ran into any issues since then.

Let me know how I can debug this issue further.  Would the display
engine trace help in this case ?  Emacs doesn't enter an infinite
recursion but from the CPU usage it is entering some sort of infinite
loop, but I can't figure out why.
