It is fully possible that balance.el requires some package not in the
emacs trunk as I have this in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ;; remove CEDET/EIEIO/SPEEDBAR that are distributed with EMACS from the load
  ;; path, and replace them with those of CEDET distribution
(load "~/.emacs.d/etc/load-path-to-cedet-svn.el")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is because I develop jpicedt with jdee, and at some point of time
the eieio of Emacs was too old compared to what jdee expected. Anyhow,
In don't think that this is the problem because I can reproduce the
hanging with -Q command line option.

Attached is the gdb session log that Paul desired.

VBR,
  Vincent.
