NT XEmacs / SQL process (and all external interactive processes?) problems

Hey all!

When I run sql-mysql, it prompts me for name/password/server/db, but
then opens a buffer that does not produce output.

A mysql.exe process is started on the local machine, so it has managed
to execute the external process. It seems, though, that it doesn't
handle the output of the external process. I believe that this problem
exists for any
external interactive process on my setup.

I'll append below the output of report-xemacs-bug, if that helps anyone.

Thanks!
