I'm having trouble identifying a bug. In my 'loaded' emacs v26.1
session, I can't save any form of ses file; emacs says "saving ...." but
never returns, until I C-g out, and the file isn't saved. However, no
such problem exists when trying the same for a new "emacs -Q -nw"
session. Does anyone have any pointers how to track down what is hanging
the save command?
Some notes:
1) toggle-debug-on-error isn't catching anything.
2) Even though emacs isn't returning from the save command, it is
auto-magically creating backup files (eg. #1.ses$, 1.ses~).

You want to use (setq debug-on-quit t) so that you get a backtrace when
you C-g (contrary to debug-on-error, I find this setting annoying in
general, so you only want to set it temporarily to track your specific bug).

I believe this is bug#31557, already solved for Emacs 26.2. You could
try the patch shown there.

Spot on. That did the trick. Thanks, and on top of that I learned to use
toggle-debug-on-quit as an alternative to toggle-debug-on-error...
