Hi,
Start Emacs with the -Q option.
Eval the form: (while t)
Then I get unable to break it. So is Emacs 24.3. This may happen
only on Cygwin, though. It makes me hard to debug a code suspected
to have an infinite loop.
In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2013-06-04 on localhost

Sounds like a problem with signal delivery. Have you reported it to the

C-g still doesn't break (while t) on Emacs 27.0.50 of today, and
also on 26.3.50, 26.1, 25.1 rebuilt recently. I got used to it,
so I'm not so troubled. ;-) Thanks for following this up.
Thanks for reporting back.
Daniel Colascione suggested that there might be a problem with signal
delivery on Cygwin, and to report it to their mailing list:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14553#20
Perhaps that might be worth doing if you haven't already.
Coming back to this four years later, it sounds like this might be a bug
in Cygwin. Is that correct?
Not sure.
If yes, should we really keep this bug open on our end?
I think it should be closed, and I'm doing it with this email.
