Thanks to Dirk Hohndel for reporting the bug. The infinite loop was first
noticed in the following message (available from the Linux kernel mailing list):

alpine.LFD.2.00.0912081304070.3560@localhost.localdomain

Note that the bug does not show up when viewing the message in
isolation---the bug was triggered only when viewing this file indented
to a depth of at least 13.

The fix is simply to use a marker rather than an integer position when
recording a point we plan to move back to later, (since inserting the
indented button causes the buffer position of the desired marker to
change).
