It works well, but sometimes it takes a very long time. But ^G does not stop it. The computer grinds to a slow. top says that Emacs is taking half of CPU and Safari is taking the other half. So it's in a tight loop (and so is some advertisement on Safari, probably). I was hoping that ^G would stop anything that emacs does. GNU Emacs 22.2.1 Carbon Are there any signals I can send to make it stop without crashing?
