> Fine, so how do we proceed from here? I presume that the bug triggers when the bidi cache limit of 50000 elements is reached (or maybe MAX_BPA_STACK). Turn off BPA temporarily, for the current line or paragraph, when this occurs? Or for the entire buffer, on the grounds that it's hardly right-to-left text anyway?

I think so-long-mode already handles this the best we could do in
general.  I don't know how to solve these pathological cases better,
except advise the user to visit such files literally to begin with.
