> Emacs hangs when follow-mode is used with three vertically split windows
> and the buffer/window text is scrolled. The "hang" means that Emacs
> stops responding and takes nearly all the CPU time.

> Steps to reproduce:

>     $ emacs -Q
>
>     C-h r           (Emacs manual)
>     C-x 3
>     C-x 3
>     C-x +
>     M-x follow-mode RET
>
> Now press C-n (next-line) down and keep it down. The cursor moves and
> the buffer text scrolls but at some point Emacs just hangs.

> This is always reproducible with my Emacs 22.2.1 (Debian package) and
> Emacs 23 (http://emacs.orebokech.com/).
