No problem! Your patches solved the main problem I was facing, so the
small inconvenience of an unresponsive Emacs for very short periods of
time doesn't affect my experience that much.

Although with these new suggested changes, which I applied, I was able
to perform several large file transfers (about twenty in total, divided
in five blocks of four simultaneous transfers) without experiencing any
loss of control from Emacs!

In all transfers I used the `-t' and `-s' flags (although I think the
sender doesn't support the SSEND detection).

I wish all the luck for these main initiatives of yours and I would like
to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and your
commitment to solve the problem, including the inconveniences that arose
with the first solution proposed.

I hope the ERC team implements your suggested changes.

Thanks!
