I am still suspicious that the fact that the event loop runs in a 
different thread [is this true?] can cause all sorts of nasty race 
conditions in XEmacs. 
This is not true in XEmacs. In NTEmacs, it does run in a separate thread.
Destroying this "feature" was the first think I did when I joined the XEmacs
team.  You are right Andy, syntchronization could be extremely tricky.

I'll look into this bug.
