Subject: 27.0.91; Infinte loop in display_count_lines
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2020 00:25:19 +0200

When the third-party mini-modeline [1] is active, certain quick and
repeated sequence of inputs produce a hang as described here [2].

Attaching gdb to Emacs and stepping through the code it is clear that
there is an infinite loop:

26649         while (start_byte < limit_byte)
(gdb) p start_byte
$32 = 557362
(gdb) p limit_byte
$33 = 703917
(gdb) n
26651             ceiling =  BUFFER_CEILING_OF (start_byte);
(gdb) 
26652             ceiling = min (limit_byte - 1, ceiling);
(gdb) p ceiling
$34 = 557361
(gdb) n
26653             ceiling_addr = BYTE_POS_ADDR (ceiling) + 1;
(gdb) p ceiling
$35 = 557361
(gdb) n
26654             base = (cursor = BYTE_POS_ADDR (start_byte));
(gdb) p ceiling_addr 
$36 = (unsigned char *) 0x558ca0bb4241 "\037\nFile: emacs.info,  Node: Remote Files,  Next: Quoted File Names,  Prev: File Archives,  Up: Files\n\n18.15 Remote Files\n", '=' <repeats 18 times>, "\n\nYou can refer to files on other machines using a special fil"...

26668                     cursor = memchr (cursor, '\n', ceiling_addr - cursor);

Thanks, I think I fixed this now on the emacs-27 branch.
