Do you mean that Emacs looped and C-g didn't quit?  If you can see a
message like the above, C-g usually works.

IIUC this is with a build made _before_ Chong's `window-total-size'
change, so the latter can't be the culprit.

I can't propose much about this at the moment.  If this happens again
and you can get back to the command loop via C-g, try to open a new
frame via C-x 5 2 and look at the last lines of the *Messages* buffer.
If for some reason you can't make a new frame, try C-x 1 instead.
