Elena deferred it to after 6.1 because just setting quit_flag invokes both sets of event handling machinery, potentially quitting twice. Yes, I look at this a little bit more after you reviewed my patch, and omigod yes, it quits twice. And unfortunately, I wasn't too sure by reading the code how this should be made to work (wasn't able to deduce the design, CRC too weak :-). We're after 6.1 BTW :-) but poor Elena seems to be drowned with other stuff, we've hardly seen any message from her for a while :-/. OK, I see the "quit twice" problem too, but it leads one to ask: which is worse? Quitting once too often, or not quitting at all? Right now, in some situations at least, you can't quit at all. That's bad.
