For an example, select the entire 11th paragraph in the body of the article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/elsewhere/journalist/story/0,7792,1152570,00.html (starting with "It all ran a bit out of control"). Paste it into Emacs (shift-insert in putty). Emacs stops responding until I press C-g. It looks like the dashes ("...were coming to see me -- everyone knows everyone in this town -- and saying...") are the cause of the problem, because pasting any other text in the paragraph is fine. This happens regardless of the buffer's mode. It also happens in other terminal emulators (SecureCRT 3.1 in Linux console emulation, for example), but not in Windows Emacs (21.1.1, i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600), where the dashes appear as regular hyphens ("-") in the pasted text. For comparison, when inserting the same text, vim will also replace the dashes with "-", and XEmacs will simply stop pasting the text when it hits them, but not freeze.
