* bug#23999: 25.0.95; Emacs hangs in rectangle-mark-mode with numeric prefix argument to `C-f'

emacs -Q
C-<home>	; Go to top left corner of scratch buffer.
C-x <SPC>	; Start a rectangular selection.
C-3 C-f		; Extend the selection to the right by 3 characters.

Expected result:  Emacs creates a rectangular selection one character
high and three characters wide.

Actual result:  Emacs hangs. (C-g quits.)

With debug-on-quit on, I then get:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
      rectangle--*-char(forward-char 3 backward-char)
      rectangle-forward-char(3)
      funcall-interactively(rectangle-forward-char 3)
      call-interactively(rectangle-forward-char nil nil)
      command-execute(rectangle-forward-char)

On the other hand, the following recipe works as expected:

emacs -Q
C-<home>	; Go to top left corner of scratch buffer.
C-x <SPC>	; Start a rectangular selection.
C-f C-f C-f	; Extend the selection to the right by 3 characters.

Note 1:  The exact position in the scratch buffer seems to be unimportant.

Note 2:  `C-n' with a numeric prefix argument seems to work fine to extend
the rectangular region downwards.

Note 3: I see this with the Emacs 25.0.95 pre-test tarball [and with the
25.0.90 pre-test for that matter]. The problem is still present in the
Emacs 25 branch as of earlier this afternoon. I do not see the problem
with Emacs 24.5.

Please let me know if any further information is required. Thanks.
