I've just committed a fix.

Eli, please check the comments of set_iterator_to_next, and
verify that I'm doing the right thing.

I have not yet committed proper codes for Hebrew
composition.  I'm now testing with this simple version.

(let ((pattern "[\u05D0-\u05F2][\u0591-\u05BF\u05C1-\u05C5\u05C7]+"))
  (set-char-table-range
   composition-function-table '(#x591 . #x5C7)
   (list (vector pattern 1 'font-shape-gstring)
	 ["[\u0591-\u05C7]" 0 font-shape-gstring]))
  (set-char-table-range
   composition-function-table #x5C0 nil)
  (set-char-table-range
   composition-function-table #x5C6 nil))

(set-fontset-font
 t 'hebrew '("dejavu sans" . "unicode-bmp"))

On GNU/Linux, you have to build Emacs with libotf and
m17n-flt libraries, and having the attached file in
~/.m17n.d/HEBR-FF.flt.
