Thanks.  This nicely matches what I remember, but I wasn't sure (I'm
obviously quite familiar with this story, since I was the one who
introduced the SYNC_INPUT changes, yet I never quite understood the
details of the immediate_quit thingy).

So, IIUC we should basically get rid of immediate_quit.
Since I never really understood it, I'd be happy to see it disappear ;-)
