bug#39081: 26.3; Emacs hangs if external SCIM input method is killed

[Vladimir Nikishkin <lockywolf@gmail.com>]

Sorry, my debugging skills are too poor.

So I attached gdb to Emacs, cont'd, then killed scim, and then
interrupted Emacs by issuing C-c in the gdb prompt,
and then collected a stack trace. I am not sure I am doing something
meaningful, as this is the first time I use gdb:
Here's the stack trace:

Thread 1 "emacs" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
