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

[David Reitter]

Can't reproduce right now neither in 22 nor in 23, using "nc -l 5600"  
and the make-comint command.  Just using make-comint with a port that  
doesn't answer doesn't time out, but brings up an error message.

Perhaps it is a DNS problem; longer timeouts can happen there.

Comint generally works for me.

Unless we have a reproducible report, let's deprioritize this.
