After feeling like I was running behind the bus for a few weeks, I may
have finally gotten something useful.

FWIW I *haven't* seen any log-drawer related lockups for a while now,
not since Nicolas said he fixed some things in that direction. But in
the past couple of days I have had a few flyspell-related lockups, and
finally got an uncompiled backtrace.

This has happened the same way a few times now. A longish, text-heavy
file, with only three top-level headlines (one of them a footnote
section), and no drawers of any sort anywhere in the document -- very
little Org markup at all, actually. The lockup starts at random, and
SIGUSR2 shows me a very short backtrace related to a flyspell-mode
related advice somewhere (I didn't save this one, it's byte-compiled, if
it's important I'll clean out more compiled files and try to get it
again).

I recover from that lock, turn off flyspell-mode in my org buffer, and
within three or four commands Org locks up again. This time the
backtrace is related to org cache, here's the one I just got, after
calling org-end-of-line:

Hope that's useful! Let me know if I can provide anything else.
