Results are eventually empty - I don't see anything. IOW, composition_update_it
is never called, at least when I do (move-to-column 10). Since this doesn't crash,
I can do M-x describe-char at column 10, which is:

              position: 17 of 100 (16%), column: 10
             character: ّ (displayed as ّ) (codepoint 1617, #o3121, #x651)
     preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x0651
                script: arabic
                syntax: w 	which means: word
              category: b:Arabic
              to input: type "C-x 8 RET HEX-CODEPOINT" or "C-x 8 RET NAME"
           buffer code: #xD9 #x91
             file code: #xD9 #x91 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
               display: by this font (glyph code)

No ideas - this needs more tracing.

Note that original gstring header is copied in composition_gstring_put_cache,
so it's better to print both:

@@ -675,9 +676,13 @@
      }

    copy = Fmake_vector (make_number (len + 2), Qnil);
+  fprintf (stderr, "%s: original header %p is: ", __func__, XPNTR (header));
+  debug_print (header);
    LGSTRING_SET_HEADER (copy, Fcopy_sequence (header));
    for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
      LGSTRING_SET_GLYPH (copy, i, Fcopy_sequence (LGSTRING_GLYPH (gstring, i)));
+  fprintf (stderr, "%s: copy %p is: ", __func__, XPNTR (LGSTRING_HEADER (copy)));
+  debug_print (LGSTRING_HEADER (copy));
    i = hash_put (h, LGSTRING_HEADER (copy), copy, hash);
    LGSTRING_SET_ID (copy, make_number (i));
    return copy;

Result is attached. For the moment, I assume that gstring header is valid,
but some values within cmp_it (in composition_update_it at least) aren't.

I can't move to 11 by advancing the cursor because it crasher earlier.

BTW, there is one more glitch - when I do 'emacs -Q uthmani-test.txt',
then 'M-x column-number-mode', then [left-arrow] few times, the column
number in mode line becomes incorrect and shown as 1003 or something
like this.
