(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Reading this bug thread, it's unclear what the actual problem is (i.e.,
how the quit was generated in the first place).  Did you make any
progress in determining that?

And:

We need a context diff, not a raw diff, because those aren't very
readable.  Can you redo the diff with "diff -u" (which is the default if
you just say `C-x v u' instead)?
