OK, it's possible it's a bug in ECB or Tramp (if they bind inhibit-quit or
if they infinite loop in one of the timer or post-command-hook thingies
(which are run with inhibit-quit set to non-nil)).

I was just bitching because too often I've seen packages where the authors
bumped into an Emacs bug, discussed it, bitched among themselves about it,
and came up with a workaround; and the whole issue was never brought to
our attention.
