Re: Recent keyboard changes breaks quitting

[Chong Yidong]

I found the problem.  The Fcopy_sequence in timer_check can QUIT,
jumping back to the command loop.  If this happens when timer_check is
from inside wait_reading_process_output, it screws up the
wait_reading_process_output's handling of the quit flag.
