[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]

This is a very painful problem when it happens, and I think it should
be fixed now.

The problem is not simple font-lock.  It is due to searching for

That loop should pause for user input, as if it were a background
process.
