I *think* that what might be going on here is that Emacs is trying to
delete a stale .eln file through `comp-delete-or-replace-file'.  There
we have some Windows specific code that I guess might loop forever.

I guess somebody observing this issue will have confirm or refut this
suspect debugging this function.
