I just tried to reproduce your problem using the 20111214 snapshot, and 
I couldn't.  My system is different, however (Windows 7).  In addition, 
I'm running a pretest of emacs 24.1 rather than 23.3.  Could you see if 
you still have the problem with the 20111214 snapshot (and with emacs 
started with the `-Q' option)?  If so, I'll try to duplicate your situation.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, here's what I did: 
  I ran emacs under X, and it started in the *GNU Emacs* buffer.  I did 
a reverse search for "emacs" and kept pressing control-r, so that the 
search wrapped around and kept wrapping.  I probable pressed control-r 
20 or 30 times.

By the way, does the problem occur only under X, or can you reproduce it 
with emacs running in the Cygwin Terminal (mintty)?
