I just caught xemacs-19.15-b98 in the act of one of its hanging
spells.  Even C-g wouldn't unhang it.  I was, conveniently, running
xemacs from the debugger.

It was hanging in select(), called from the res_query() family of
functions, during a time when my internet connection had gone down.
Since the resolver functions have no asynchronous option (at least the
last time I looked at them, about two years ago), I don't know how one
might solve that problem.  One of these days, I may write a new set of
resolver functions that operate asynchronously, to solve it.
