This happened to me a time or three.  I don't know whether Emacs or
del.icio.us was the problem.  I was never able to debug it.  At least
one time it happened Emacs seemed to be in a CPU spin.  I don't *think*
anything-delicious can get into a tight loop like that but anything's
possible.

Set debug-on-quit to t and then hit C-g next time it happens.  I'll do
the same :)

It's in CVS Emacs' lisp/subr.el.  The CVS log says it showed up in
June.  I assumed it had been around forever!
