*nod* i've never set `inhibit-quit` non-nil in my own code, but i imagine it's more than possible that something i was calling was setting it non-nil, so i'll keep that in mind.

More generally, if i again encounter an unresponsive-Emacs scenario like the one i mentioned, i'll note it on help-gnu-emacs, to get others' input about whether or not it's an Emacs bug.

Thanks!


Alexis.
