Re: [Q21.4] Email truncation bug begone!

David Evers described how the bug manifested for him while using JDE: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200412/msg00128.html It has been manifesting as the dreaded email truncation bug for some of us 21.5 users. In general, this bug can cause subprocesses on Unix systems to not receive all of the data that XEmacs was supposed to send them. I have tested the 21.5 version of the patch as thoroughly as I know how. It solves the problems I was seeing and, so far at least, has not introduced any new ones. The 21.4 code is nearly identical (the differences are mostly cosmetic), David reports that it solves his JDE problem ... I think it should go into 21.4.17. Just to be on the safe side, I'll build a 21.4 with this patch included and run with it for the rest of today. I'll exercise it as well as I can. If I don't pop up and say, "Hold the presses!", assume that I didn't run into any trouble. (I'm going with negative instead of positive acknowledgement because I'm leaving town tonight, and I may not have time to send an email saying "No problem", although I will certainly take the time if I do run into a problem.)
