I'm trying this out with planner-multi, but without planner-id. Things
seem to be okay, so maybe it's just planner-id being really stubborn.
I wrapped it in with-planner-update-setup, though.

Try this if you use planner-id:

(defadvice planner-deadline-update (around gijs activate)
 "Turn off planner-id updating"
 (let ((planner-id-update-automatically nil))
    ad-do-it))

If you're not using planner-id, I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Hmm... what else could it be?

You could use M-x toggle-debug-on-quit, then check the backtrace after
C-g. That'll show you which functions are looping.

Sorry about the inconvenience!
