The "subprocess" it uses should be a network socket, not a real 
subprocess.  The lisp interface is the same, but I am fairly certain 
that bug#5359 is caused by a limitation in Windows stdio buffering 
between processes, not by anything internal to Emacs, so it should only 
affect real subprocesses.
