bug#1131: Fwd: [Aquamacs-bugs] problem with comint

[Adrian Robert]

Hello,

Does this issue still exist in emacs-23?  Can it be reproduced in any  
simple manner without access to Matlab?  Does it exist on an X11  
build of Emacs on Mac OS X?

If I try just

(make-comint "MATLAB EEI" (cons (system-name) 5600))

on Emacs.app on my system, with nothing listening on 5600 (but not a  
packet-dropping firewall either), I quickly get a lisp error about  
'(file-error "make client process failed" ...'.

thanks,
Adrian
