In ILISP, I currently use pipes (process-connection-type set to nil)
because when I use ptys, long strings sent to an inferior process lose
characters in the middle even when the string is broken up into small
chunks.  This causes another problem in that I can't send an EOF down
the pipe.  (There is no problem sending a ^d character, but in a pipe
the character is sent whereas in a pty, the character is eaten and an
empty string is sent.  Sending an empty string doesn't work in a pipe
either.)

So, does anyone know how to prevent pty's from losing input or to send
an EOF down a pipe?  

Thanks!
