I have no idea whether this is related, but there is something fishy 
going on with subprocesses in emacs.

1) Using emacs commands such as man, only part of the manual gets 
displayed -- it is cut off at the end.  This is not man-specific, it 
occurs for diffs etc. as well.  Haven't isolated yet which forms of 
calling a subprocess have the damage.

2) Subprocess input in general is *extremely* slow (read: 
CPU-intensive), making e.g. auto-compression-mode a pain.  It is much 
faster to decompress a file in situ and then open it.

It looks like it's time for some bughunting...

Gruesse, Carsten
