Please see my other mail in this thread.  I think your view of what
happens on Windows when the user presses C-g is at least incomplete.

I don't argue about this code's correctness or necessity on Posix
systems.  I accept your and others' expert knowledge about that.  What
I'm saying is that this code is unneeded and possibly inappropriate on
Windows, where most of the system calls and mechanisms involved in
this issue work in an entirely different way under the hood.
Therefore, I submit that this code should have never been installed
unconditionally, at least not without discussing its applicability and
implications on Windows.
