bug#8630: 23.1; Emacs freezes when creating nearly empty __init__.py

[Daniel Gonzalez]

Now it is freezing just when opening a new buffer pointing to an
unexisting file __init__.py.
Not possible to type anything.

ctrl-g is also not working.

emacs -Q does not exhibit the problem. It seems it is caused by my
settings, or any of the loaded modules. Difficult to say what exactly,
since my .emacs is quite big.
