Hi,

I received the following mail which might be of interest for those
debugging this issue:

----- Forwarded message from "Mark E. Shoulson" <m...@shoulson.com> -----

Subject: Bug#1017845: Endless fork loop at installation time: /usr/bin/emacs 
--batch -l 
/tmp/emacs-int-comp-subr--trampoline-7363726f6c6c2d6f746865722d77696e646f77_scroll_other_window_0-<random>.el

I'm not on the mailing list in question, came across your email while
researching the same problem when I had it, and I might have something useful
to contribute, in the form of a "golfed" minimal example that causes the
problem, so you don't have to pore over huge libraries.  My emacs, upon
upgrading, did the exact same looping just when executing this:

(fset 'yes-or-no-p (symbol-function 'y-or-n-p))

That's all it takes.  Finally dawned on me to downgrade emacs.

Just in case it helps.
