That's ample punishment for a buggy program, don't you think?

Doing nothing is fine when a program is buggy.

On a TTY, the 1st and the 3rd example are not crashes: they are the
"emergency escape" feature of Emacs.  You can read about it in the
manual.  It is triggered when more than one C-g is pressed without
Emacs being able to process the first one.  Due to the way we process
input nowadays, you cannot see this in action except on a Unix TTY,
where C-g triggers a SIGINT.

The 2nd example seems to be caused by a non-main thread entering
redisplay (I think).  Or something like that.
