There is a bug in accept-process-output on the Silicon Graphics
personal Iris running Sys V.  When accept-process-output is called
with no arguments, Emacs stops until some process has output.  Even if
the user types Ctrl-G.  This can cause Emacs to completely lock up.

"GNU Emacs 18.54.3 of Tue May  9 1989 on balrog (silicon-graphics-unix)"
