Hello,

I'm using GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 on Mac OS X 10.11. I've been able to reproduce this hang a couple times, the gist of it is:

1. Open a specific markdown document (using markdown-mode, from MELPA). 

2. Make a specific change to this document (deleting one line)

3. Emacs hangs

I attached lldb (sorry Richard :-)) to it and discovered a stack trace 4000 frames deep, almost all of which were in functions named things like "mark_vector" and "mark_object". I've attached the stack trace to this email. A few choice lines:

  * frame #0: 0x00000001000fd88a Emacs`mark_object + 758

    frame #4631: 0x0000000100019fd7 Emacs`line_bottom_y + 91

Unfortunately, I'm probably not allowed to attach the markdown document to this email. I'm perfectly happy to enable any kind of diagnostics which may help in debugging this and attach them to this bug. I'll also install a newer pretest version and see if I can reproduce the bug there.

Thanks,

Tom Jakubowski
