Strange emacs lockup

On the headers view on some junk folders, I can "almost reliably" make
emacs lockup by just moving the cursor in the buffer. That is, I do not
need to open the message view.
The message itself doesn't seem to be the culprit, as changing the query
to shuffle the messages around makes the lockup happen on a different
message.
By attaching with gdb, emacs seems to be burning cycles in a malloc/free
endless loop. I didn't spend too much time on it, as my gut feeling
somehow tells me it has do to more with the locale of the subject line
than anything else. I cannot replicate the behavior except in junk
folders.
Does anybody else experience anything similar?
FYI, I'm using emacs24 from debian unstable.

Hi Yuri,
We're discussing such a thing (it sounds somewhat similar):
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24109
would be great if you could generate a backtrace using 'xbacktrace'.
Kind regards,
Dirk.

After reading the full thread, it seems indeed related to long lines. I

noticed I could just (toggle-truncate-lines -1) to make the problem
disappear.
Incidentally, the hung seem to happen when moving the cursor up _to_ a
truncated long line.
I'm building now the current emacs head to see if I can get a decent
backtrace.
