Subject: 24.3.50; unquittable infloop

M-x grep put me in a loop I could not quit out of.
Here's the backtrace after C-g C-g put me into GDB.
Grep had already terminated, but Emacs had not exited the loop
even a minute later.

It happened twice today.  One time, the current buffer was in Mail mode,
and maybe that was true both times.
