For the record, this has nothing to do with TTY vs GUI frames. You can have the same problem on a GUI frame if you use a bogus symbol for the fringe bitmap, like 'foobar instead of 'question-mark.
Makes sense.
Evidently, the Founding Fathers never meant for us to use display properties on after-strings that specify display on the fringe. Emacs 22 and 23 infloop if you try your recipe on a TTY there. Emacs 24.1 is the first release that doesn't, and it already has this bug.
The given example uses before-string, but I guess you mean both.That's odd, though, because when used with overlays, before- and after-strings are the most flexible for this and similar use cases.
Fixed in 6b765b8 on the emacs-24 branch.
Works fine. Thanks!
