23.0.50; carbon build from cvs, blink-cursor-mode causes emacs to become unresponsive

[Tresi Arvizo]

Fresh cvs checkout, fresh build using "./make-package --self-contained
--compressed-dist".  This is a Carbon app on OS X 10.5.1.

Using blink-cursor-mode in an attempt to disable the blinking cursor
causes emacs to quickly become unresponsive.  How blink-cursor-mode is
called doesn't seem to matter: (blink-cursor-mode -1) in .emacs,
Options -> Blinking Cursor, and M-x blink-cursor-mode all cause this
problem.

You should have seen this warning at the end of configure:

    Warning: The Mac Carbon port is currently unsupported and has
    known problems.  It is not recommended for use by non-developers.
