Should be fixed in revision 117376 on the emacs-24 branch.

When Emacs becomes unresponsive, it is best to attach a debugger to a
running Emacs process, and then use the procedure described in
etc/DEBUG (under "If the symptom of the bug is that Emacs fails to
respond") to find out which function infloops; then include this
information in the bug report.
Thanks.
