This is slightly more interesting, because it shows that timeout for
pselect was 14 sec plus change.  So the interesting question is what
happens after the timeout expires?

IOW, when you find Emacs stuck in pselect, type "finish" and let Emacs
exit the pselect call.  Then step through the code and see what it
does and why it doesn't respond to keyboard input.  Is the keyboard
descriptor in the set of descriptors pselect waits for?
