OK. We have correlation, since I am running Emacs 21.1 (Debian emacs21
21.1-7). Sorry that I forgot to mention that detail, most sloppy of me.

Right. It seems event driven. Have somebody messed with some
event-loop or something? Something in Emacs perhapps?

(I confess, I haven't dug into Emacs internals, I just use it since 9
