It means just that: accept-process-output is called in a way that can block (e.g. because some remote host doesn't respond) wit inhibit0quit set to a non-nil value, which means that Emacs may end up frozen (with no way to wake it up) for as long as the remote machine decides not to answer. IOW, maybe there should be a (with-local-quit ...) somewhere so that the user can C-g out of such a state (or the call should have a timeout, or inhibit-quit should not be set, ...). Stefan
