These kinds of problem can have various sources, with various
workaround/remedies/fixes.
I recommend you:
- Try it with a more recent version of Emacs.
- If you can still reproduce it with the latest Emacs,
`M-x report-emacs-bug`, ideally with the offending file in attachment
so we have a chance to try and reproduce the problem on our end.
