Could you pls tell us in detail what annoys you?

For the records, this doesn't happen for me with a todays build of git
master:

GNU Emacs 26.0.50.17 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.30)
 of 2016-12-11

I'm running Ubuntu 16.10.

Looks like a problem in the concurrency code. Could you, pls, check the
instructions in etc/DEBUG how to retrieve better traces?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
