    Gentlemen, do
    $ emacs -Q --eval "(set-variable 'visible-bell t)"
    C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b C-b...

    Shouldn't emacs be smart enough to notice we are launching a denial of
    service attack on ourselves, that lasts much longer than we held the
    key down? Shouldn't just a few messages be enough? emacs-version "22.1.1"

I don't think this is a bug but I agree that what you request
would be an improvement.  It may not be easy to do.
If someone provides a clean patch we can install it.
