Package: emacs22-gtk
Version: 22.1+1-2

I was trying to save a file which is owned by my user, but the parent
directory is read-only root:root, and an old backup file (tilde
suffix) already existed, also read-only root:root.

Emacs now consumed 100% CPU; an strace showed the following:

  lstat("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~", 
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9902, ...}) = 0
  stat("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~", 
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9902, ...}) = 0
  unlink("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~") = -1 EACCES 
(Permission denied)
  stat("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~", 
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9902, ...}) = 0
  lstat("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~", 
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9902, ...}) = 0
  stat("/usr/src/debian/build/icu-3.6/debian/changelog~", 
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9902, ...}) = 0

Emacs 22.2 has now been uploaded to Debian, so I'm closing this after
verifying that the issue is indeed fixed.
