I haven't seen that one, but I have seen one that looks somewhat
similar from the outside:  Emacs appears to hang, then eventually
starts a subshell.  This one can be repeated by typing ahead while
generating an error; one way might be to hold down ')' in electric-C
mode.  The fix for this particular bug is extremely simple:  just
remove a piece of code in fill_chan that says ``if (err) return;''
(with a comment near it about ^G interrupts).  I don't know if this
adversely affects HalfBaked mode though.
