1.329 is successfully working round the itimer bug.

This is on XEmacs 21.1.7.  As I implied in a previous message, XEmacs
20 would need a newer version of EFS as well as fsf-compat/timer.el in
order to work.


There is a problem connecting to IRIX hosts.  AIX, ISC and Solaris are 
fine.  The last couple of messages are

Wrong number of arguments: format, 0, "Couldn't find remote `%s' prompt."
Starting remote shell `/bin/ksh' for tilde expansion...

(The first indicates a minor bug in the error message code.)

It seems fairly similar to a duplicate connection to a Solaris host.
That works okay, specifically it does not stall at 'exec /bin/ksh'.

I've tried manually issuing the commands over an rlogin and that seems 
fine.  The /bin/ksh fires up and returns a '$ ' prompt.  I may not
have got all the commands exactly right, though.  Maybe I should trace 
rcp-send-command to see exactly what to type.

Ideas?
