[gnu.emacs] 18.54 loadst problem

I posted a problem sometime last week stating that I was having a
problem with loadst in GNU Emacs 18.54, which I just upgraded to
last week. The problem was that my time/mail notice would
disappear seemingly spontaneously and that loadst would disappear
completely out of the process table. One person kindly responded
with a suggestion, but it didn't help.

Now I've gotten some information to contribute: the problem can
be produced at will simply by executing keyboard-quit (C-g).
Mysteriously, it also happens when I use C-g in the sequence
C-h c C-g (describe-key-briefly, keyboard-quit), which as I
recall is supposed to disable the key.

I have probed around a little in source code, and I notice that
loadst.c was changed recently. The problem doesn't exist on
systems around here that are still running 18.52.

Can anybody offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
