Whatever's going on here isn't network-related, it's pretty clearly triggered by making editing changes to an org buffer. It's also unsalvageable with C-g, or this whole thing would be much simpler! There's an ongoing thread between Daimrod and Stephen that might actually be the same issue, I'll check that out. > sendings signal to emacs from external usually only kills it. > the only signal which i am aware of that can be caught is SIGUSR1. > i used to use it to notify emacs about network changes.
