The "File ... changed on disk.  Reread from disk? (yes or no)" prompt
works fine inside a keyboard macro.  It seems that it's just the
'risky variable' question which causes the problem.

When Emacs hangs, it consumes all available CPU time.  I don't think
this is acceptable:

  1) it's not acceptable to use all available CPU time or to get stuck
     in an infinite loop when simply attempting to open a file

  2) Emacs gives no indication of what it's doing.  The question isn't
     displayed to the user.

It's just a bug, I think.
