Thread-Topic: Emacs 22.1 hung after delete-process

Subject: Emacs 22.1 hung after delete-process 

Using delete-process to kill a subprocess causes Emacs to hang
irretrievably if the sub-process does not immediately exit.

E.g. Using perl.exe (5.8.6) and controlling the HUP signal:

(setq perl-process
      (start-process "perl" "*perl*"
		     "perl.exe"
	   	     "-e"
	       	     "$|=1; print 'starting... '; $SIG{'HUP'} = sub { print 'killed!'; die; }; sleep(20);"))

(delete-process perl-process)

Windows may popup a process killed dialog, select "End now".
Emacs is now completely hung :-(

I have only tried this on Windows. Emacs 21.2 does not have this problem.
kill-process and quit-process are fine and do not hang Emacs.

Thanks,
Andrew

Ps. Sorry if this email is repeated, I got a bounced return.
