I have been using emacs-18.55 on multiple platforms (hp, suns, ps2 ...) and I have notice that the emacs function 'process-send-string' cannot send to the subprocess any strings longer than ~ 760 characters long. Does anybody known where that limitation come from ? It is sort of anoying because when you use packages such as cmulisp, you cannot do a 'compile region' or 'compile defun' of function of decent size. Thanks, Tran Le. -------

EmacsLisp manual says:
The kernel may fail if you send more characters than it will hold in
an input buffer. If necessary, use a temporary file, and send a program
to read it.
