Elena, here's something that must have fallen thru the cracks

it was intended to work.


See the patch Joel submitted for this last August.  Elena deferred it
to after 6.1 because just setting quit_flag invokes both sets of event
handling machinery, potentially quitting twice.

given quit_flag hasn't worked for 4+ years, we might as well delete 
that.  At least that way there won't be confusion over what needs to 
be fixed.


I don't agree.  If gdb hangs and you can't quit by typing ^C,
that's a bug. 


(Hmm, no one is saying that this isn't a bug.)

Anyway, lets not drop this again.  Given that you appear to have been 
tasked with the problem,
???

can I leave it to you to to submit the 
correct-fix (as sketched out in the above discussion thread)?
No, sorry, I had nothing to do with this.  I'm just the latest
to notice that it is broken.
