83** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
84

881. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
89
902. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
91
923. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
93 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
94 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
95 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
96 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
97
984. Set for current session.
99
1005. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
101
1026. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
103
104The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
105induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
106problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
107there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
108bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
109
110I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
111I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
112when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
113within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
114interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:

116Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
