Subject: bug#7616: 24.0.50; bidi; emacs crashes with SIGABRT

Hi,

emacs crashes with SIGABRT if i do following steps:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (setq-default bidi-display-reordering t)
3. M-x info
4. M->

unfortunately i can not provoke a backtrace with gdb, but i observe under gdb, that
after M-> and several C-p, the last `previous-line' fails in the "middle" of *info*
buffer with `Beginning of buffer' message.
