Oh, well, just that the code in ispell I propose to change used is
following:

	  (process-send-eof ispell-process)
 	  (if (eq (ispell-process-status) 'run)
 	      (ispell-accept-output 1))
 	  (if (eq (ispell-process-status) 'run)
 	      (kill-process ispell-process))
 	  (while (not (or (eq (ispell-process-status) 'exit)
 			  (eq (ispell-process-status) 'signal)))
 	    (sleep-for 0.25)))

ispell-accept-output just being a wrapper around
accept-process-output. It used a timeout of 1 sec, but `process' was
bound in accept-process-output. However, as `process' is bound, ...

« Non-nil arg process means do not return until some output has been
  received from process. »

So, was the timeout useful or at least meaningful in that case?
