1. emacs -Q

2. I checked original function url-generic-parse-url:

(require 'url-handlers)
(url-filename (url-generic-parse-url "file:///C:/Windows/win.ini"))

url-handlers
"/C:/Windows/win.ini"

3. I applied the patch and reload url-generic-parse-url:

url-generic-parse-url
"C:/Windows/win.ini"

4. I checked browse-url-emacs:

(browse-url-emacs "file://C:/Windows/win.ini")
(browse-url-emacs "file:///C:/Windows/win.ini")

Emacs hangs each time:

Quit [2 times]

5. I reload original url-generic-parse-url function and checked
again browse-url-emacs: first call hangs again, but second one
doesn't:

url-generic-parse-url
Quit
File exists, but cannot be read
#<buffer win.ini<3>>
