I'm not quite sure I see the relevance here -- any prompt that Emacs
issues may hang Emacs in some circumstances, and there's nothing special
about adding a prompt here.

(I agree that there should be a way to make Emacs non-interactive -- I
run Emacs as a remote daemon a lot, and slapping down all the
interactive queries that pepper the Emacs code is a chore.)
