Thanks for pointing out this issue.

The diff as posted is not entirely correct, since
move_it_in_display_line_to can be called in the middle of a line, and
then it is wrong to assume that the initial hpos is zero.  But the
patch below should fix this particular problem, I think; please try
it and tell if it avoids the infloop.
