Loading an Emacs lisp file (e.g. by load-file in .emacs) containing the
commands:

(defvar tai-tham-composable-pattern
  (let ((table
	 '(
	   ("C" . "[\u1A20-\u1A54") ; Missing ']'!
	   ("M" . "[\u1A55-\u1A5E\u1A61-\u1A7C\u1A7F]"); Mark
	   ("H" . "\u1A60") ; sakot
	   ("N" . "\u1A58"))) ; mai kang lai
	(regexp "C\\(M|HC\\)*\\(NC\\(M|HC\\)*\\)*N?"))
    (let ((case-fold-search nil))
      (dolist (elt table)
	(setq regexp (replace-regexp-in-string (car elt) (cdr elt)
					       regexp t t))))
    regexp))

(let ((elt (list (vector tai-tham-composable-pattern 0
'font-shape-gstring)
                 (vector "." 0 'font-shape-gstring) )))
  (set-char-table-range composition-function-table '(#x1A20 . #x1AAD)
elt))

causes Emacs to hang when a character in the range U+1A20 to U+1AAD
needs to be rendered.  Now, the value of tai-tham-composable-pattern is
an unbalanced regex, so that may be the cause of the problem.

The problem also occurs in Emacs 23.3.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)

I don't think you can reasonably expect Emacs to work properly when you
have put invalid regexps into a function like that, so I'm closing this
bug as a "wontfix".
