Re: Hang in process-send-string with nnimap

Simon Josefsson reports a similar problem, probably the same cause. Daiki Ueno sent a patch for 21.5 to address a hang on writing to a process. Here's a version for 21.4. Please apply and let me know if it helps. If you can get back to me in a day or so, it can go into 21.4.12. This should apply to pretty much any XEmacs 21.4, not necessary to update to 21.4.11, I believe.
