auctex + XeTeX (XeLaTeX) crash with emacs 23.4

[Jose Gosdin]

Auctex causes emacs 23.4 to hang when TeX-engine is set to xelatex.

Steps to reproduce:

$ emacs -Q /tmp/blankfile.tex

Load auctex and evaluate:

(setq TeX-engine 'xelatex)
(setq TeX-PDF-mode t)

C and elisp backtrace:

(gdb) run -Q /tmp/tex.tex
