It's frustrating -- when running under gdb, this hang seems to happen a
lot less often, and it hasn't happen against since last time.  But I was
just looking at the code to try to understand the previous backtrace.

So, the "finish" stuff seemed to show that we weren't hanging in
accept-process-output at all, but were instead just calling functions as
normal, and looping on the Lisp level?  And, for instance, Ffuncall has
a maybe_quit, so C-g should work in these instances?  But they don't,
which is confusing.

Is it even possible for the Lisp-ier functions in the backtrace to
inhibit C-g?
