Re: [RFA] Make QUIT work

See the patch Joel submitted for this last August.  Elena deferred it
to after 6.1 because just setting quit_flag invokes both sets of event

Yes, I look at this a little bit more after you reviewed my patch,
and omigod yes, it quits twice. And unfortunately, I wasn't too sure
by reading the code how this should be made to work (wasn't able to
deduce the design, CRC too weak :-).

We're after 6.1 BTW :-) but poor Elena seems to be drowned with other
stuff, we've hardly seen any message from her for a while :-/.

OK, I see the "quit twice" problem too, but it leads one to ask: which is worse? Quitting once too often, or not quitting at all?

Right now, in some situations at least, you can't quit at all.
That's bad.
