bug#18036: 24.4.50; Too large fringe width causes hang in redisplay

[Dmitry Antipov]

Recently I erroneously set left-fringe-width to some large number
(don't remember an exact value), and got infloop in redisplay afterwards:

Recipe to reproduce is very simple:

./src/emacs -Q --eval '(progn (setq left-fringe-width 1000) (switch-to-buffer "test") (kill-buffer))'

This recipe works for all X-aware configurations on GNU/Linux.

Thanks, this is now fixed in the emacs-24 branch (r117381).
