reliably).

In spite of the careless mistake in my patch, you could still test Eli's suggestion of using SendMessageTimeout instead of SendMessage, at least in my_show_window.

Ken, what was the original change intended to guard
against? What would people be doing with Emacs that
can't simply be abandoned? Did you have a particular
example in mind?

Bug#23483.
