There is some sequence of keystrokes, involving at least C-x C-n and probably C-g and C-c. When I type them (whatever they are), Emacs is completely frozen and must be killed from the Terminal. I know that C-x and C-n are involved, because I usually see a message about "Goal column not being activated" in the frozen Emacs. However, just playing around with these control keys myself does not cause the problem. Also, I only trigger this sequence 1-2 times a day, so it is rare. My own attempts have not caused the hang. Debugging pointers? John
