Emacs freezes.

`save-interprogram-paste-before-kill' makes extra action: current value X
clipboard is stored to kill-ring, before new value is put there.
I use xclip commandline tool to talk to X clipboard from emacs.

I see you are using an old version of Emacs 25.3.1.  Can you reproduce
this on a recent version of Emacs, such as the recently released version
27.1?  If yes, could you please provide a step-by-step recipe for
reproducing it, starting from "emacs -Q"?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
