There was a bug in process-send-string which prevented sending of more
than n characters in one line (500?).  This used to cause problems in
sql-mode when people wanted to use process-send-string to send entire
buffers to the process.  All lines where shorter than n, and thus
there was no breaking into chunks, and this caused deadlocks with the
process.  I cannot remember wether this was fixed.  The fix would
cause splitting into chunks every n bytes, or every n lines in
addition to the present splitting of long lines.
