The problem of Emacs being unresponsive on Windows when the master
file question was asked was totally unrelated to menu filters and
parsing.  It could be triggered by a simple
(x-file-dialog "" "" "<default>")

The problem as diagnosed by Jason Rumney on emacs-pretest-bug is an
incorrectly placed BLOCK_INPUT..UNBLOCK_INPUT pair.  Also, one of the
characters "<" or ">" is regarded is invalid for the file dialog which
will prevent the dialog box from being opened.  Instead the minibuffer
will be used.

By eliminating "<default>" I avoided the problems with the file dialog
and in addition the file history is not cluttered by this string
anymore.
