bug#15725: 24.3; Using C-x C-c to close Emacs running in windowed mode on Windows can leave window blank and unresponsive

[Dani Moncayo]

>> Sometimes, when closing an instance of Emacs that is running in windowed

For the record: I still get hung sessions from time to time when
trying to close the application (I've just got one of them).  I
already sent the backtrace, but I'd provide more info if needed.
