You mean the thread Re: wait_reading_process_ouput hangs in certain
cases (w/ patches)?  We are still waiting for the updated version of
the patch (I've just sent a reminder).

But in any case, that patch was for master, not the release branch.
We could see if it also fixes this problem, and maybe consider
backporting if it does.  But I hoped there could be a safer fix for
this bug.
