This might be a good idea.  But the simple way is not an adequate fix.
If all Emacs does is interrupt redisplay, the next redisplay
will run into the same problem and get stuck again.

I wonder if it is possible to detect that a single line has taken too
long, and set a flag to truncate long lines in that buffer.
Perhaps set truncate-lines.
