Starting from emacs -Q, evaluate:

    (require 'rmc)
    (read-multiple-choice "choice? " '((?a "ay") (?b "bee") (?c "see")))

then click the mouse somewhere instead of answering the prompt, notice
Emacs maxing out CPU, hit C-g.  *Messages* will have a log of the prompt
being repeated many times:

    choice?  (ay, bee, [c] see, ?):  [4435 times]
