-** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
-
-From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>

-
-1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
-
-2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
-
-3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
- a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
- b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
- c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
- d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
-
-4. Set for current session.
-
-5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
-
-6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
-
-The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
-induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
-problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
-there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
-bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
-
-I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
-I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
-when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
-within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
-interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:
-
-Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
