We're still missing file and line numbers for the Emacs code, which is odd.
But not terribly important, since the lockup is happening inside glib, it
appears.

>     libglib-2.0.0.dylib`g_main_context_acquire + 42

So, here's that function, more or less:

    gboolean 
    g_main_context_acquire (GMainContext *context)
    {
      gboolean result = FALSE;
      GThread *self = G_THREAD_SELF;
    
      if (context == NULL)
        context = g_main_context_default ();
      
      LOCK_CONTEXT (context);
      /* ... */
    }

We're blocked waiting on the context. The question then being: who else has
that context? Is it another Emacs thread?

Eli, does this ring any bells?

John
