Same for NS.  Interestingly, some variants of the original recipe
behave differently with respect to C-g depending on the toolkit.

Example 1:

(thread-join
 (make-thread
  (lambda ()
    (message "hello")
    (sit-for 2)
    (message "there"))))

Interrupted: GTK+, Athena, no toolkit, Mac
Not interrupted: NS


Example 2:

(thread-join
 (make-thread
  (lambda ()
    (message "hello")
    (sleep-for 2)
    (message "there"))))

Interrupted: GTK+
Not interrupted: Athena, no toolkit, Mac, NS

Probably it has something to do with xg_select.
