I think it occurs if I click the abort icon on the toolbar more than once (either inadvertantly or due to impatience). It can take a while for the kernel to react to an abort, if indeed it ever will (I think I've thrown it into a coma more than once). I, too, wind up disconnecting the kernel. In any event, unless it gives you an input panel (rather than printing in the cell), I don't think you can answer. Guess it's Mma's version of a rhetorical question.
