Okay. I have built from the branch "emacs-24" (revno: 117000) which has
Stefan's version of Jarek's patch (revno: 116996), and I cannot get
it to freeze after considerable use of the scrolling thumbs. (Two trials
of five to ten minutes of using the scroll thumbs.)

I also built trunk (revno: 117005) (which does not have Jarek's patch in
it) and in three out of three trials using emacs -Q it
froze within less than a minute of using the scroll thumbs.

So, tentatively, I would say that Jarek's patch fixes (or works around?)
the bug.
