Summary: character protrusion: pdftex may hang
Initial Comment:
pdfTeX will fail on the following LaTeX file:
----------------------------------------------------
\pdfprotrudechars 2
\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
\fontsize{7}{8}\selectfont
This paragraph consists of more than two lines.
This paragraph consists of more than two lines.
This paragraph consists of more than two lines.
%% same for this paragraph:
% This is \hfill an empty line
\end{document}
----------------------------------------------------
pdfTeX will hang while building the paragraph, so it
seems.
This does not happen with other font sizes. Also, it
somehow seems to depend on the fonts preloaded in the
format file. If I change this line in preload.ltx:
\DeclarePreloadSizes{OT1}{cmr}{m}{n}{5,7,10}
so that the font for size 10 will be loaded first, and
recreate the format, all is well.
I am using:
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4))
Regards,
Robert.

seems it's a loop in hz.ch, function total_pw(), always
returning to the reswitch: label. I don't know what's going
on, but supposing that the current line loop or whatever
should end when the post_break(l) is reached, just shifting
the goto reswitch; to this place:
decr(n);
end;
goto reswitch;
end;
end;
total_pw := left_pw(l) + right_pw(r);
end;
seems to make it work. No idea how to test it...
