I'm seeing a similar problem in 19.15b98.  Sometimes, xemacs will just
stop responding.  C-G has fixed it, but waiting for 60 seconds hasn't.
It's happened about 3 or 4 times in the past two days, and I haven't
yet found a correlation between these occurances and something else
that I'm doing or xemacs is doing behind the scenes.
