read-from-minibuffer vs asynchronous processes

[山本和彦]

Emacs 21 series have a bug which does not exist in Emacs 20 series.

While one or more asynchronous processes are running AND the
foreground program flow calls read-from-minibuffer(), C-g cannot stop
the function call. This is probably because asynchronous processes set
inhibit-quit to non-nil and read-from-minibuffer() called by the
foreground program flow accidentally inherits it.
