When I hit certain characters in gnu emacs I find that the cursor goes
to the bottom of the screen (lower right hand side) and stays there.

Control G does not stop the behavior. Neither does control-C
control-C.  (I am usually in a shel switching to something else when
this happens.  It is computing something and I try to switch buffers
and then it hangs.

Have you heard of this problem?

Is there something I can do to the process like sending it a signal,
to make it abort the current operation and go back to listening for
the next command?
