I've written some few lines which reproduce the problem under HP-UX
with all Emacsen available for me (20.7, 21.2, 21.2.93):

(with-temp-buffer
  (let ((bytes 1000)
	(proc (start-process (buffer-name) (current-buffer) "wc" "-c")))
    (process-send-string proc (make-string bytes ?x))
    (process-send-eof proc)
    (process-send-eof proc)
    (accept-process-output proc 1)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (re-search-forward "\\w+")
    (message "Bytes sent: %s\tBytes received: %s" bytes (match-string 0))))

No problem under other Unices, like Solaris.

Best regards, Michael.
