For what it's worth, this is not new in 0.17. In 0.16, and possibly
before, If I hit esc at about the same time the recording was ending,
I would get the same thing. I couldn't do it on demand, but the
vulnerable window was big enough that it happened once or twice a
week.

I guess this new stalling problem just gave more people the
opportunity to enjoy the hangs....
