This sounds like a known bug in emacs 19.25, triggered by any of the
standard-display-xxx routines including standard-display-european and
standard-display-8bit.  A fix was posted to gnu.emacs.bug(s?).  I'm afraid I
passed it on to our systems people and didn't save a copy.  Another bug which
you should check for is whether suspend-emacs suspends it or kills it.
There's also a patch available for this.
