Right-to-left cursor movement is set to "Logical", although indeed I do
not use RtL.

I think the issue is because of math.

For example, when I open the math manual, if I search for "Here is an
example" and put the cursor anywhere in there and then hold <Right>,
after 10 seconds of holding it I get a SIGSEGV (I assume because of the
math just below).

This is a very valid reason.

Only make that quick'n'dirty version if it wouldn't take too much time
and you think it would be useful (to you) for me to test the other parts
of the code. If not, tell me "fiche-moi la paix!" and I promise I will
be patient :)
