Thanks for the explanation. What would be an example of an asynchronous
process? I have several remote 'M-x shell' buffers and probably some
dired buffers looking at remote directories. Is each 'M-x shell' child
an "asynchronous process" for the purposes of this issue?

Does it make sense to you that disabling caching fixes it?

Usually, I can C-c in "M-x shell" just fine. When this bug is triggered,
though, I cannot C-c in remote M-x shell processes at all: it fails each
time. Disabling the caching, getting one successful C-c, and re-enabling
it makes it work that time and in the future. Is this consistent with
the failure mechanism you're thinking of?

Thanks
