I start emacs with "runemacs -Q", on windows 8.
Then i write the following function in the scratch buffer:

(defun forever ()
  (interactive)
  (while t (message "doing nothing")))

I then press C-u C-M-x to instrument the function for debugging.  Then i
do M-x forever. Then i press 't' to start tracing, and edebug starts
tracing the code correctly. However, if i press 'S' to stop, it doesn't
work. Pressing many 'S' commands repeatedly apparently only cause edebug
to evaluate the 'while' expression faster. Pressing 'q', <SPC>, 'n', do
not seem to stop edebug either, they only appear to speed up the
evaluation of the code. I have to press C-g then 'q' to return me to the
toplevel.
