In that thread Charles traced it to this commit:

  commit 2b0a91e78f83fb446cc38efb99399e83ad2cded3
  Author: Stefan Monnier <monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca>
  Date:   Mon Apr 12 22:07:48 2010 -0400

      Try to solve the problem of spurious EOF chars in long lines of text
      sent to interactive subprocesses.
      * sysdep.c (child_setup_tty): Do not enable ICANON any more.
      (system_process_attributes): Remove unused var `ttotal'.
      * process.c (send_process): Don't bother breaking long line with EOF
      chars when talking to ttys any more.
      (wait_reading_process_output): Output a warning when called in such
      a way that it could block without being interruptible.

so I've cc'd Stefan in, even though it was a long time ago, in case he
has any insight.
