Subject: bug#24395: auto-revert-remote-files freezes emacs (Windows 64-bit)

From: Andreas Nilsson <[email-masked]>

runemacs.exe -Q -l autorevert

version 25.0.94.2 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

Set global-auto-revert-mode and auto-revert-remote-files both to t and do:

C-x d /plink:SOMEHOST:/home/blah

Open lots of files with C-o until Emacs goes into escapable freeze. From 
what I tested the freeze is escapable with C-g using -Q but what I 
experienced with no -Q was that it locked up Emacs most of the time not 
escapable.

auto-revert-use-notify is nil
