while-no-input interrupted by *shell*

[Michael Heerdegen <michael_heerdegen@web.de>]

Hello,

I found another annoyance with `while-no-input': If you have a *shell*
buffer producing output - for example run something like ls -R in
*shell* - then `while-no-input' is obviously interrupted by what's going
on there.  For example

  (while-no-input (sit-for 100))

immediately terminates when evaluated while such a shell buffer exists.

Is this expected, and is there a way to avoid this behavior?


Thanks,

Michael.
