In GNU Emacs 18.55.8 of Mon Nov 26 1990 on satyr (usg-unix-v)

I've got a subprocess output bug in the Emacs that I brought up on my
386 ESIX 5.3.2 Rev D system.

Symptoms:

1. Shell buffers don't show shell process output till after the shell
   dies (and then all the output pours out). I know that the inferior
   shell is alive and well (I tested this by executing a command that
   accesses the floppy drive and saw immediate results), but Emacs
   won't show me its output till after the process is dead.

2. M-x display-time just shows "time and load" and sits there. If I
   let this go on for a while and then execute the following elisp via
   M-ESC:
	(kill-process display-time-process) 
   I will see the time flash in the minibuffer before the loadst
   process dies.

3. In a shell buffer, if I do the following:

   cat /etc/termcap
   cat /etc/termcap

   The inferior shell dies as *exactly* 1024 characters are output to
   the buffer.

In all three cases above, it doesn't matter whether I use ptys or
pipes.

Anyone know what's going on? Do you have a fix?

This is an aggravating bug that makes Emacs almost unusable for me.
