I left it for hours but it didn't seem to return.  Oh, I see.
It must be trying to complete a UNC file name.  In xterm that
runs tcsh, `cd //<C-d>' doesn't return, too.  Therefore, this
should not be an Emacs bug.  I'm closing this thread.  Thanks.

When performing find-file, Emacs gets hung if I mistyped as:

Find file: // and <TAB>

As it might be because C-g doesn't break an inf-loop on Cygwin
Emacs (bug#14553), there seems to be no way to get out of it
except for killing the Emacs process.  For a wonder, Emacs does
not eat CPU so much at that time.
