So you are saying that the service, which is a sub-process of Emacs,
produces some output, but Emacs doesn't read that output timely enough
because it's idle? That's not possible, I think: when Emacs is idle,
it is most of the time stuck inside a call to 'pselect', which should
return immediately when some input arrived from a sub-process.
So I guess I still don't understand something in your setup. But
what?
