Continue working on handling of properties in bidi iteration. Region display and extension seems to work. Solved a crash in bidirectional display of etc/HELLO. (HELLO display still not 100% OK, e.g. near Kannada.) .gdbinit (pitx): Display some bidi information about the iterator. dispextern.h (BIDI_AT_BASE_LEVEL): Enclose definition in parentheses. xdisp.c (handle_stop_backwards): Save and restore it->current and it->position, instead of expecting the caller to do that. (next_element_from_buffer): When moving across stop_charpos, record it in prev_stop. When IT_CHARPOS backs up, call handle_stop_backwards only if above the base embedding level. This solves the crash while displaying etc/HELLO in bidi mode.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
