emacs -nw -Q, run from an xterm terminal, appears to hang during startup
before it finishes displaying the *scratch* buffer.  I have to kill it
from another terminal.  A bisection shows that the problem started with
the following commit:

    * lisp/term/xterm.el (xterm--query): Avoid generating garbage

    (xterm-query-timeout): New var.
    (xterm--query): Use it.  Fallback on async method if we timeout before
    getting the first byte of the reply (bug#12354).
