HACKING THE NEW WINDOW STUFF IN EINE, I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO A
STATE WHERE ALL PROCESSES WERE BLOCKED "PERMANENTLY". I THINK I DID
IT BY FROBBING OTHER MOUSE BUTTONS WHILE I WAS TRANSLATING AN EDITOR WINDOW.
MAYBE THE SCHEDULER SHOULD SENSE CALL NOT BEING HANDLED AN INITIATE A
SUPER-BREAKPOINT SO YOU COULD GET A CHANCE TO SEE WHY THINGS ARE SO HUNG UP.
The scheduler does check for call by doing (KBD-CHAR-AVAILABLE T).
I too have seen this not work, but I don't know why.
Maybe it means that a CALL can't be seen if there is an
unread character in front of it.
If so, we probably need real keyboard interrupts
to fix this properly.
