The problem with Gnus & al being able to hang Emacs¹ is due to the
timeouts it specifies on process operations not being honoured when
they're run from a timer. (Normally `accept-process-output' on an
asynchronous article fetch is the culprit, and there is a loop
involving `select'.)
This was reported before, but no-one could find anything wrong with
process.c. If I remember correctly, it is reproducible by running
from a timer a shell command which waits for a long time without
producing output.
Can we make another attempt to debug this?
Can someone make a simpler test case than GNUS?
