Still hangs right during startup with my init.el setting the default of
cache-long-line-scans to t.

With your new patch,

    emacs -q
    M-: (setq-default cache-long-line-scans t) RET
    C-h i

loops indefinitely.  GNU Emacs 24.2.50.10 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-09-10, rev. 109966 + both patches applied.

I can try to come up with a recipe for a vanilla trunk build and Gnus
this weekend.

Thanks so much for your help.
