Maybe once a day or so, on average, editing something in an Org buffer causes emacs to hang, and my fans to spin up, and there we are until I kill emacs. It happens often enough that I guess it's worth running emacs under some kind of debugger -- at least, I assume that's the best way of catching the bug. I'm not really sure how to go hunting, though, so if anyone had any advice in this direction, that would be great. In the meantime, is there any way of interrupting emacs so it quits whatever its doing, without having to kill it? I've played around with sending different signals using "kill", just for fun, but everything I've tried either does nothing, or kills emacs altogether. Cheers, Eric
