[A21.5] Reduce timeout in Faccept_process_output [was: XEmacs 21.5 doesn't like Python]

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. :-) tbennett> Maybe the following patch will help you. It makes tbennett> running subprocesses (eg: man) much faster for me. This tbennett> patch was in XEmacs 21.5 somewhere around 21.5.19 I tbennett> think, but was reverted a few versions back for some tbennett> reason. As promised, Tony! Any objections or changes to the ChangeLog you'd like to make? NB: I did change the comment to C style. 2006-03-24 Tony Bennett <tbennett(a)nvidia.com&gt; * process-unix.c (Faccept_process_output): Reduce timeout. *** src/process-unix.c~ Sat Mar 1 02:25:36 2003 --- src/process-unix.c Mon Jul 12 22:00:37 2004 *************** *** 1530,1536 **** /* Buffer is full.
