24.3.50; Emacs gets hung by find-file for //<TAB> |

When performing find-file, Emacs gets hung if I mistyped as:
Find file: // and <TAB>
As it might be because C-g doesn't break an inf-loop on Cygwin
Emacs (bug#14553), there seems to be no way to get out of it
except for killing the Emacs process. For a wonder, Emacs does
not eat CPU so much at that time.
In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.8.2)

I left it for hours but it didn't seem to return. Oh, I see.
It must be trying to complete a UNC file name. In xterm that
runs tcsh, `cd //<C-d>' doesn't return, too. Therefore, this
should not be an Emacs bug. I'm closing this thread. Thanks.
