bug#9087: Crash reading from minibuffer with icomplete-mode

Can you please explain what this means?  If C-g is delayed does it mean
that I can't use it to quit immediately?  Or does it mean that I can
crash Emacs via C-g in a similar way as with the OP's scenario?

Why and how is all this handled differently on GNU systems?

Thanks, martin
