Emacs freezes while I was moving cursor in a latex file with AucTeX-mode (and LaTeX-mode). Emacs becomes black and I can do nothing, including C-g. I followed the approach in this answer, and obtained the following backtrace information.
I am using emacs on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 Desktop on my laptop.

Lisp Backtrace:
"redisplay_internal (C function)" (0xc2cae8)
I still do not know where goes wrong.
I can provide more information if you need.
