Subject: 24.3.50; C-g in minibuffer hangs Emacs
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 18:39:14 -0800 (PST)
No info to repro this yet.  But now Emacs is sometimes hanging when I
try to interrupt the current command, which is using the minibuffer,
using C-g (or C-], after C-g at least) repeatedly.  Doesn't seem to
happen all the time, but fairly often.  The Task Manager does NOT
show Emacs gobbling CPU, which surprised me.  But there seems to
be no way to exit Emacs besides killing the process.

Works for me.

Are you still seeing this problem?

Really?  What is it, exactly, that works for you?  How do you know
it works?

> Are you still seeing this problem?

Yes, "sometimes", as I said in the bug report.

I did what you described.  I used the minibuffer and interrupted the
command.

Do you have a recipe for reproducing this bug?

That was three years ago, and the message before that was five
years ago.

Are you still seeing this?  Do you have a recipe for reproducing the
bug?  Or could you provide a backtrace, or something that is a bit more
actionable than the original report from 2013?

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas

Yes, sometimes, as mentioned in the bug thread.
No, I don't have a recipe to repro it.  Sorry.
And there is no backtrace - Emacs hangs.

Could you try running Emacs under gdb and break when this happens so
that we can see where it hangs?

No, sorry.  I gave up on trying to use gdb long ago.
If you feel like closing the bug as `cannot reproduce'
or whatever, feel free to do so.  I don't have time
to spend on it.  Sorry.

It doesn't seem likely that we'll make further progress on this bug
report, so I'm closing it.
