[gnu.emacs] Strange bug in Emacs 18.52

worley@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Dale Worley) (11/30/88)

I am running Emacs 18.52 on a Sun.  I occasionally get a certain
strange behavior.  For instance, I will type C-x C-w.  The display
freezes with "C-x-" showing in the echo area, and my Sun goes to 100%
CPU utilization.  I wait a while and then type C-g.  This stops the
CPU use.  I get a beep, and then the C-w is executed!  If I type C-h
l, what I see is:
	C-x C-g C-w C-h l
that is, the C-g is recorded before the C-w.

Oh, I'm running Emacs under Emacstool under Sun Windows, if that makes
a difference.

Has anybody else noticed something like this?
