With EMACS 19.34 (the latest version, without the bugs :-) I noticed
the following behaviour, which I think is wrong:

I type:

C-x C-f "d:/tmp/con" <TAB>

And then I never return to EMACS again, even after trying C-z, C-d,
C-c and C-g. Only C-A-DEL helps after that.

I am sure it is because `CON' is a reserved filename under DOS, but
maybe EMACS could check that? DJGPP-specific or just DOS-specific?

Is there something I can do about it without recompiling EMACS? How is
this handled in EMACS 20?

I'm very happy with EMACS though, thanx Eli!
