bug#18556: 24.4.50; update-file-autoloads never ends

[Vincent Belaïche]

Hello Paul,
BTW, I had not noticed this, even if you cannot reproduce getting hung, 
nevertheless there seems to be a problem in what you logged : the 
my_autoloads.el that you produced is basically empty. That should not be the 
case, there should be at least balance-mode function as auto-loadable.

Regards,   Vincent.
