When larger text is inserted to term (or matlab-shell) it freezes
on XEmacs 21.4.* (ev56|ev6|ev67)-dec-osf(4.0d|4.0f|5.0)
On XEmacs 21.1.* term (or matlab-shell) does not freeze like this.
How to reproduce the problem:
---
xemacs -vanilla
M-x term
<Copy, e.g., with mouse following text to term and press enter>
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
<term executes those echo commands, and after that it beeps,
freezes and does not respond to anything (note that XEmacs does not
freeze, just the term)>
