Try this and emacs will hang in an endless blinking loop:

% emacs -nw -q

C-x b t e s t RET C-x ( a b c d e f RET A B C D E F
RET C-x ) M-5 M-0 M-0 M-0 C-x e M-< C-x ( M-C-s ^ [
^ A - Z ] C-a C-k C-k C-x b f o o RET C-y C-x b RET
C-x ) C-h l

M-4 M-0 M-0 M-0 C-x e


I can't stop it with C-g, but I need not to use 'kill -9', a simple
kill is suficient.
It makes no difference if you use '-nw' or not.
