I thought this was a FLIM problem, but Yoichi Nakayama ably identified it as a emacs problem (on OS X specifically). The problem is described in more detail here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.wanderlust.general/632 with Yoichi's response (together with a test case that I can reproduce: C-g on OS X cannot recover from evaling any of the following three: 1. (condition-case nil (while 1) (error (error "catch error")) (quit (error "catch quit"))) 2. (condition-case nil (while 1) (error (error "catch error"))) 3. (while 1) ) at: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.wanderlust.general/635 (He verified this with GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0) of 2004-05-08; I also verified it with GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0) of 2004-07-07.) He also points out that C-g has had historical problems in OS X: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.macintosh.devel/46 Given that the above message indicates that the 10.2 OS X release allowed support for handling C-g properly, maybe now's a good time to do so?
