   In version 2.01 of the package, there is a variaible, comint-input-chunk-size
   that determines how much text comint sends off to the subprocess at a
   time:

   (defun comint-send-string (proc str)
	....

   Lower the value of this variable, and you should win. If you don't
   have version 2.01, let me know, and I'll send it to you.

But, your hint does not work, using comint 2.02 (ftp-ed a few days ago from
cmu!).  I went as low as 
	"comint-input-chunk-size's value is 32".

Sending in chunks does not help:

(Following is the upper part of the *Backtrace* buffer after having
	(setq debug-on-error t)
and reproducing the error)

-----------
Signalling: (file-error "writing to process" "no more processes" #<process S>)
  process-send-string("S" "alker\", \n	   main = \"KL-distance")
  (let ...)
  (while ...)
  (let* ...)
  comint-send-string("S" "pl.KLmat <- function(KL.mat = KL.mat40,..............\
.....
.....
  legend = legend.lab, col=1, lty=1:20, cex=cex)\n}")
  comint-send-region("S" 3048 4261)
  S-eval-region(3048 4261)
.....
.....
-----------

Note again that the error occurs only running on SunOS 4.1.1.
The IDENTICAL binary, running on SunOS 4.0.3c does not have the problem.
