[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

When running emacs -batch, if a function modifies a buffer and calls
save-buffer and there is another emacs -batch also updating the same
file, one of them can call ask-user-about-supersession-threat [in
userlock.el].

This causes the emacs process to hang because read-char-choice never
returns.  See traceback below.

This happened when running make -j 6 and I changed the scenario to not
happen, but I wondered if ask-user-about-supersession-threat should be
act upon variable noninteractive.

Perhaps one is supposed to supply a replacement for
ask-user-about-supersession-threat if running emacs in batch mode?

--- Traceback ---
This was obtained by attaching with gdb to the emacs process.
