yes.

I have no idea. I have not been able to make Emacs responsive after this
happens.

> what were you doing when this happens?

it happened twice (or 3 times?) so far.
the last time I was applying patches with C-c C-a in *vc-diff* buffer.
it is quite possible that I was doing that the first time too, but I am
not sure.

> Do you have any guesses as to what that overlay might be?

no, but if you tell me what C variable to examine (and how), I will
gladly do that when this happens again.
