Maybe, this is even a SunOS bug ...

emacs 18.57, 
	compiled on a Sparc 1, running SunOS 4.1.1., using
	CFLAGS= C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH .....

The problem happens only when running SunOS 4.1.1 (both, Sparc 1 and Sparc 2),
not when runnning SunOS 4.0.3c.

The ominous error message in the message (mini) buffer:

	writing to process: no more processes, <process-name>

The error should be easily reproducible by executing the following
(in *scratch* buffer).
We use an example process "CAT" on an example region
that everyone should have available):

;;- do these once:
(start-process "CAT" "*cat*" "cat")
(save-excursion
  (find-file "/etc/termcap")
  (setq buf (get-file-buffer "/etc/termcap")))

;;--- try to execute this; it will break some times (actually, mostly):
(progn
  (set-buffer (buffer-name buf))
  (process-send-region "CAT" 1 898)) ;problem does not occur for <= 897 char.s!


The error is not just a rare thing that never happens, but it is really
disturbing my work, using 'comint' and an inferior-process that I want to
send code to from a "source buffer".
