Gentlemen, minibuffer text entry goes up in smoke upon three ESC's:
ESC x c o m p i l e RET v e r y _ i m p o r t a i n t _
painfully_entered_long_line ESC ESC ESC
If I wanted to throw it all away, I would have hit ^G. The three ESC's
were just a typo.

That is user error, not a program bug.
,----[ C-h k ESC ESC ESC ]
| ESC ESC ESC runs the command keyboard-escape-quit
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
| (keyboard-escape-quit)
|
| Exit the current "mode" (in a generalized sense of the word).
| This command can exit an interactive command such as `query-replace',
| can clear out a prefix argument or a region,
| can get out of the minibuffer or other recursive edit,
| cancel the use of the current buffer (for special-purpose buffers),
| or go back to just one window (by deleting all but the selected window).
