APPROVE 21.5
Will commit in a few days if there is no objection.
Vin, I don't know about implications for 21.4; I'll try to remember to
check before I commit.
I'd especially like feedback from people on the Windows platform;
Adrian had some trouble which I don't know was ever identified with a
patch to similar code in lstream.c. The semantics of the patch were
quite different, but it makes me nervous. :-)

As promised, Tony! Any objections or changes to the ChangeLog you'd
like to make? NB: I did change the comment to C style.

Oops. As Adrian points out on xemacs-beta, this has nothing to do
with Windows. I don't know anything about the Windows version of the
code, unfortunately.

When I actually made the change I used C-x 4 a to generate the log,
and found out that it's actually in unix_send_process(). I've made
the correction in the workspace I'll be committing from.

sjt> * process-unix.c (Faccept_process_output): Reduce timeout.
My apologies (mostly to Skip) for not getting it into the 21.5.26
release. Brain needs a patch, I think.... The rationale for delay
was that I wanted to think about implementing the strategy used in
process-nt.c here, too, but that seems like overkill for now.
The semantics are the same as the original patch. I've fixed the
reference in the changelog, added a comment about the increasing
timeout strategy in the code, and added some rationale to the
changelog per Tony's request.
