1. Set debug-on-quit to t and study the backtrace you get after C-g
2. Set debug-on-error to t, send SIGUSR2 signal to Emacs and study the backtrace
3. Run emacs -Q only loading the Org version you use and try to
   reproduce. If you can, this is a bug in Org. If you can't, bisect
   your config to identify the cause (there is a helper bug-hunter
   package to assist; it can be used for manual reproduction as well)
