I don't understand why C-g doesn't help, but it is known
that
there's a bug in the regexp code. You can work around it by using
21.4.15,
Not really an option for me, since I don't build XEmacs myself. I
just apt-get it.
One thing I can do, is to use debian's non-mule version of XEmacs.
Appearently the problem isn't present there.
but that will break all regexps that use shy groups---they will fail
to match correctly. The cause of the bug is unknown at this point.
An article in posted to ding(a)gnus.org, mentions a fix applied to the
official freebsd port:

I've no opinion on this patch's validity.
